Archaeology of early settlement

A bronze knife and spearhead are dated to around 800 BC. Read about the find site and context before using them as evidence for a complete story of settlement.

Clothing and everyday objects

Traditional dress and everyday objects bring local life closer. Compare material, repairs and occasion, and ask who donated or documented the piece.

Herb garden and Expositiehuis

The garden with its stone well and the art gallery broaden the visit. Treat the museum, the temporary exhibition and the outdoor space as three separate parts that may have different opening times or content.

Before you go

The regional museum is on the first floor, reachable by stairlift. A redesign is being prepared; the permanent display may change.
