Museum Spaansen: family and business in one collection

Museum Spaansen in Winkel is housed in a former family home. Photos and everyday objects tell the history of the family business.

Plan your visit ↗

A business through images

The extensive photo collection offers starting points for looking at change. Pay attention to workplaces, equipment and people, and ask what explanation belongs with a photo. That way a company’s story becomes more concrete than a series of anniversaries or names.

The house as a setting

The domestic setting creates a link between family and enterprise. Look at which objects have been chosen for the display and how they relate to the business. A guided tour can help you understand that connection.

A visit by arrangement

There is no fixed weekly schedule. The museum receives visitors by appointment or during announced open days. Let the museum know in advance how large your group is and what interests you, so that the welcome and the tour can be tailored.

Before you go

Make an appointment or check for a current open-day announcement before you travel to Winkel.
