Den Aanwas: a life story in a village house

Museum Den Aanwas in Ossendrecht links its presentation about Prinses Paulientje with the surroundings of the Brabantse Wal. The living-room café and a village audio tour give the visit different forms.

Plan your visit ↗

Getting to know Paulientje

The permanent exhibition centres on Paulina Musters, known as Prinses Paulientje. Take time for her life story and the way the museum tells it. A nickname attracts attention; the presentation can help you look further at the person behind it.

A house to look around

The museum is housed in a gentleman farmer’s house. See how the rooms accommodate the presentation, and visit the Stameneeke, the living-room café. Inside, viewing an exhibition alternates with the character of a domestic setting.

Bringing in the village

The audio tour takes you through Ossendrecht and continues beyond the museum doors. Ask where the route starts and how much time you need for it. That way you can combine your museum visit with a walk without having to rush the last part.

Before you go

Sundays up to and including 25 October 2026; groups also by appointment. Discuss the limited wheelchair access in advance.
