Heemkunde Margraten: collecting and documenting

Museum Heemkunde Margraten is housed in the Auw Veiling on the Rijksweg. Changing everyday objects are combined with documentation on Margraten and the surrounding villages, including photos, maps and genealogical material.

Plan your visit ↗

An everyday object

Consider why an everyday object has been included in the display. The local explanation can make clear which work or custom it illustrates, beyond mere recognition.

Researching a place further

The documentation offers other possibilities than a short tour of the museum. Make an appointment to consult it and indicate in advance which village, person or subject you want to research.

A monthly opening

The first Saturday morning is the regular public opening, with a summer exception. Special heritage days are announced separately and are not a permanent extension of the schedule.

Before you go

Check the Saturday morning and the closing time; August is closed. Ask about accessibility and archive conditions, as public museum opening does not automatically give full access to the documentation.
