A room to read
The period room and the display in the cellar focus on daily life. Look at how the objects are arranged together. What activity does that make imaginable, and what information does the explanation still need to add?
Difficult history too
The museum organisation names the Jewish inhabitants and the Molengoot labour camp as subjects. Give that display space alongside looking at household items. People, events and documents call for attention to context and to what an individual object can actually tell you.
A changing subject
Alongside the permanent display, the museum holds a temporary exhibition every year; advertising is mentioned for 2026. That offers a different view of the town: which images and words were meant to persuade people? Check what is on show on the day of your visit.
Before you go
The museum is located at Voorstraat 34; the historical information centre is elsewhere. Information on admission varies, so check the current conditions.
