Telling rocks apart
Colour, grain and structure offer a starting point for comparing stones with one another. Ask how such features are used in the museum to recognise and describe a find.
The region as a framework
The name IJsselvallei gives the visit a regional angle. Ask to have explained which finds on show are connected to this area and which serve to illustrate a broader phenomenon.
Small opening, arrange ahead
The fixed visiting times fall on the second weekend of the month, with a break around midday. Appointments are mentioned for other days; dropping in spontaneously is then not a reliable option.
Before you go
Check the separate Saturday and Sunday hours. Confirm a visit outside the fixed weekend directly with the museum.
