Wijkmuseum Soesterkwartier: history on a living-room scale
The Wijkmuseum Soesterkwartier in Amersfoort is housed in a worker's home. The furnished house and the exhibitions focus attention on life in the neighbourhood.
A house from the inside
The presentation refers to the 1930s to the 1950s. Look at how rooms and objects together form a picture of the period, and ask to have explained which parts are specifically linked to the Soesterkwartier.
More room for exhibitions
Following the renovation, a new exhibition room is mentioned, including a textile exhibition. Ask about the current subject if you have visited the museum before.
The neighbourhood as conversation
A small neighbourhood museum can be a reason for specific questions about a street or a resident. Report such a research question in advance if you need more support than for an ordinary visit.
Combine the furnished house with the temporary presentation for two different perspectives.
Before you go
The ground floor has been made more accessible, but upstairs is reached only by stairs. Confirm arrangements outside the regular Wednesday and Saturday opening.
