Why button turners?
The name refers to medieval craftsmen in Montfoort. Look for the tool, product or document through which the display makes this craft tangible, and note the dated source.
The town through the centuries
The timeline tells the town’s history with a selection from the collection of around five thousand objects. Choose one century and compare an image, an everyday object and an archaeological find from that period.
From museum to street
Paper, digital and guided walks start from the information point. An exhibition about the vanished castle gains more meaning when you seek out foundations or the town layout outside.
Before you go
Open Wednesday–Friday afternoon and Saturday 10.00–16.00; closed on Sundays and public holidays, book guided walks in advance.
