Oeteldonks Gemintemuzejum: carnival in objects

The Oeteldonks Gemintemuzejum in Den Bosch presents carnival and the Oeteldonk tradition. The museum is also known as the Nationaal Carnavalsmuseum (National Carnival Museum), and masks, costumes and a wide range of festive objects are part of what is described.

Plan your visit ↗

Costumes and small items

Besides masks and costumes, badges (schildjes) and promotional material are mentioned. This means you can look at both eye-catching clothing and smaller objects. Pay attention to the explanations with the pieces: they help you understand the meaning of local names and customs if you do not celebrate carnival yourself.

Explanations along the way

The museum offers guided tours with a host or hostess. About an hour and a half is given for these. An accompanied visit leaves room to ask questions about words or images you do not recognise. Groups need to book in advance; also ask about any themed exhibitions.

Times with eleven minutes

The regular schedule runs from Tuesday to Sunday, each day from 13:11 to 17:11. These precise times deserve attention when you plan. Request any accessibility information directly, and on special days check whether the regular route is available.

Before you go

Book a group visit in advance and note the 13:11 start time.
