Stadsmuseum Veenendaal: wool, peat and the story of a town

Stadsmuseum Veenendaal in the Cultuurfabriek approaches the town through work, landscape and far-reaching events. The permanent display is complemented by changing art exhibitions.

Materials as a starting point

Wool and peat offer concrete ways into the town’s story. Ask what work was connected with them and how the display explains their significance for Veenendaal. That way they are not just familiar words from a historical overview.

Water and wartime

A flood and the war years are also among the permanent subjects. They place different emphases from the industrial themes. Take time with these sections to read the explanations and to distinguish the local consequences of larger events.

Art alongside history

Changing exhibitions can give a visit a different character. Check the programme beforehand if you are coming for a particular artist. On Saturdays the museum opens later than on weekdays; closure is listed for public holidays.

Before you go

Check the exhibition programme and public holidays; on Saturdays opening starts at 10.30.
