Archaeology of Houten in the station attic

In the Oude Station, the working group displays local finds from Houten, Schalkwijk, ’t Goy, Tull en ’t Waal and the Kromme Rijn area.

Plan your visit ↗

A find with its findspot

Start with an object whose location and soil context are clear. That information makes the difference between a loose old object and archaeological information about settlement or use.

From excavation to display case

The working group researches building plans, excavates, conserves and publishes. For one displayed item, ask which steps between discovery and presentation have been recorded.

A changing attic exhibition

The exhibitions change and sometimes tie in with events. The station is a compact venue; check in advance whether an announced theme is still running and how the attic can be reached.

Before you go

Regularly open Tuesday and Saturday 11.00–15.00; an older notice mentions 10.00, so follow the current contact page.
