HEMA-museum: a private collection

The HEMA-museum in Den Bosch is a private initiative of collector Randy van Merwijk. Media describe a collection of products relating to the department store; it is not an official HEMA museum.

Plan your visit ↗

Looking at everyday items

The descriptions feature a wide range of items, from notepads to fashion and make-up. It is precisely the mix of ordinary everyday objects that can spark recognition. You can look at packaging, shape and the differences between kinds of products, without expecting a complete history of the company.

A visit to a collector

The collection is offered through personal appointments. If you are interested in a particular product or subject, you can mention it in advance. There is no confirmed overview of everything currently on view, so do not make a special trip depend on an object from an old news report.

Agree the days first

Instagram @hema_museum is the contact channel mentioned. The visiting days given differ between descriptions and do not form a reliable current schedule. So first ask whether a visit is possible, on what date and under what conditions. Only set off once you have been given an appointment.

Before you go

Opening and visiting days are uncertain; get in touch via Instagram first.
