Museum De Vier Quartieren in Oirschot covers Brabant folk and rural life. Food, energy and the seasons offer ways into everyday existence, in a historic building setting behind the basilica.

Plan your visit ↗

A closer look at customs

See which activities the display shows around living and working. The explanations can clarify differences from the present day without recognition alone shaping the picture.

Sustainability as a question

The presentation also uses sustainability as an angle on past practices. Read which concrete examples are shown; the subject calls for more nuance than the assumption that everything used to be more frugal.

Images alongside

Van Gogh reproductions are used as an additional perspective on the subject. These are reproductions within the presentation, not an announced gallery of original paintings.

Before you go

Check the current admission conditions and public holiday hours. The building is partly wheelchair accessible; discuss in advance which route is possible with your mobility aid.
