Prinses Irene: museum visits by appointment or on Wednesdays

Museum Brigade en Garde Prinses Irene in Oirschot focuses on the brigade and the guards tradition of the fusiliers. The regimental collection is located at a barracks and therefore has different access arrangements from a stand-alone town museum.

Plan your visit ↗

Following a regiment’s story

Start with the introduction to the presentation. It gives you something to hold on to in distinguishing names, periods and traditions, even if you do not yet know the organisation well.

Tradition in context

See how the museum explains the relationship between the brigade and the guards. The meaning of an object or symbol becomes clearer when its function and the occasion are explained.

Choosing when to visit

Wednesday is the regular visiting day; regimental activities and appointments may offer other options. Let them know in advance that you are coming for the museum and ask which parts are accessible.

Before you go

Report to the guard with ID and check the current access arrangements. The collection is described as wheelchair accessible, but discuss the route and any aids in advance.
