Drostenhuis as a story
Historic rooms and the Schepenzaal (Aldermen’s Hall) place Zwolle objects within the historic Drostenhuis. Pay attention to where traces of the building end and exhibition design begins.
Archive and local
Documents give different access to the town than a display case. Start with one street, person or event and ask which types of sources are available.
Specialists at work
On Wednesdays and Fridays, archaeologists and building historians may be present in the lab. Ask how a find is described before it receives a museum story.
Before you go
The museum and exhibitions are closed for refurbishment from 14 September to 2 October 2026; only the café remains open, via the Voorstraat.
