De Tolbrug: farming life in objects

Museum De Tolbrug in Bakel presents historical everyday objects, tools and toys. The private collection at the farm and campsite on the Neerstraat can be visited by appointment only.

Plan your visit ↗

Work as an action

With each implement, look at how form and use are connected. An explanation can make clear what task it was used for, so that an unfamiliar object becomes more than something merely to recognise.

Within the household

Household items and needlework form another part of the collection. Compare which daily tasks the display places side by side and how they are explained.

Children’s play too

Toys offer a different angle on the same surroundings. If you are coming with children, ask which parts are available, without expecting a fixed hands-on programme or demonstration.

Before you go

Confirm your appointment and the museum entrance on the Neerstraat. The campsite being open does not mean access to the museum; ask about accessibility and guidance separately.
