Het Gouverneurshuis: regional history in detail
Het Gouverneurshuis in Heusden combines a regional collection with temporary exhibitions, a garden and a café. Prints, maps, scale models and water board glasses offer different ways into the Land van Heusden en Altena.
Overview and scale
A map and a scale model show spatial relationships in different ways. Read what situation they depict and compare how the museum uses them to explain the region.
A special glass
Hensbekers and water board glasses are part of the collection mentioned. Look at the shape and decoration and use the explanation to understand their function, rather than focusing only on their precious appearance.
A quiet transition
The garden and café can complement your museum visit. Check access if you are coming especially for them, and see which temporary display is running alongside the collection.
Link the maps with the smaller objects to view overview and local detail together.
Before you go
The ground floor is more accessible than the upper floors, which involve stairs. Weekday afternoon hours differ from weekend hours.
