Utrecht · History

Museum Soest fills a convent with village life

In a monumental convent from 1868, a classroom, council chamber, cartwright’s workshop, fire brigade and war history stand alongside nature and changing art.

Plan your visit ↗

School and governance

An old classroom and a council chamber show different forms of authority. Compare furniture, arrangement and written rules and ask which institutions the items came from.

Workshops and emergency services

The cartwright’s workshop and the fire brigade collection make technology and local craftsmanship visible. Choose one tool and describe the action, force and material associated with it.

From royal family to attic nature

Themed rooms on the Royal House, religion and war vary widely; in the attic, flora and fauna appear. Use the layout to see differences, not to expect a single chronological route.

Before you go

Open Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon; groups can make appointments, and it is often closed on the first day of public holidays.
