Museum Kruithuis: a city under siege

Museum Kruithuis in Den Bosch presents the Siege of ’s-Hertogenbosch of 1629 and the Eighty Years’ War. The museum on the Citadellaan thus concentrates on a clearly defined subject from the city’s history.

Plan your visit ↗

A subject with connections

Use the explanation of the siege to link the different parts of the presentation. Even without prior knowledge, you can notice how the museum places the event within the war. The name of the building and the exhibition theme together form the starting point of the visit.

Museum and café

Grand Café 1629 is part of the venue. It can be a place for a break alongside your museum visit, but check the facilities separately if you want to make a booking there. The museum gives a visit length of about an hour for the presentation.

Different opening times

At weekends the museum opens an hour later than from Tuesday to Friday. Individual visitors do not need to book in advance; larger groups should get in touch. There is a lift to the museum rooms, and an accessible toilet is mentioned in the café.

Before you go

Check the weekend opening time and register groups of twelve or more in advance.
