’t Zusterke: objects from the world of care

Museumpje ’t Zusterke in De Wielewaal at Bospark Bakel focuses on district nursing, home care and material from a former sanatorium. The collection offers concrete starting points for looking at care as everyday work.

Instrument and task

Blood pressure monitors, baby scales and other aids are named as parts of the collection. Read what they represent in the display; their presence in a museum is no indication of current use.

Care at home

Loan equipment from the Kruiswerk shifts the focus from an institution to the home environment. Look at what explanation is given about the use and organisation surrounding such objects.

A different subject

Soil lacquer peels (lakprofielen) and a photo collage about the Peelrandbreuk (Peel Boundary Fault) form an additional part. They give the small museum a second angle alongside the care collection.

Before you go

Check the Wednesday afternoon hours and make an appointment outside those opening times. Ask about the entrance to De Wielewaal and the accessible route available at Bospark Bakel.
