Historisch Museum Ommen: a region in rooms and stories

The Historisch Museum Ommen uses a mill and a toll house as a framework for regional history. Furnished rooms and local subjects give the museum several different ways in.

Living, learning and working

A living room, a farmhouse kitchen and a classroom appear in the description alongside tools, clothing and jewellery. These combinations make it possible to compare everyday activities with one another.

More than household goods

A fire engine and presentations on Krishnamurti and Kamp Erika are also mentioned. Each of these subjects calls for its own context; take time for the explanation with the heavier history.

Reading a model carefully

At Kamp Erika, a model of a wooden barrack is mentioned. A scale model helps to picture a shape, but is not the same as an original building or a personal testimony.

Before you go

The Saturday opening only applies in the summer schedule. For an autumn or winter visit, check which days and parts are accessible.
