Treasures from the ground
Archaeological objects show earlier habitation and use. For one find, read the material, location and dating and compare that information with the site of present-day Rhenen.
The battle for the Grebbeberg
The display on May 1940 and the reconstruction links military events with their consequences for residents and the town. Alongside the map and uniform, look for a civilian source too.
Van Goyen looks at Rhenen
The painting from 1652 shows Rhenen from the east. Compare recognisable buildings with today’s townscape and consider which artistic arrangement is not a topographical record.
