The Roerstreek from mammoth to village life

The Roerstreekmuseum brings together archaeology, geology, nature and village history. This lets you look at one region on very different timescales, from prehistory to memories of recent villages.

A grave from Linne

At the Roman grave, take in not only the finds but also their position and how they relate to each other. It is precisely the combination that tells what archaeologists can deduce from a burial context.

Big animal, small evidence

The mammoth reconstruction draws attention, but compare it with the rocks, bone material and explanations around it. That way you see the difference between a reconstruction and the original evidence.

From nature to people

Coins, stuffed animals and stories about the Roerstreek are close together. Follow how landscape and natural conditions recur in settlement, work and local customs.

Before you go

Open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 13.30–17.00. Closed on Friday and Saturday; several public holidays and carnival days are also excluded. Check the date in advance.
