Historisch Museum De Bevelanden: textiles and regional stories

In a former convent and orphanage in Goes, Historisch Museum De Bevelanden tells the story of Noord- and Zuid-Beveland. Textiles receive special attention there, alongside other regional subjects.

Plan your visit ↗

Looking closely at regional costume

Beveland costume and samplers invite you to pay attention to detail. Read how the museum places clothing and needlework in context. A pattern or finish becomes more interesting when you also know what the explanation says about it.

A broader regional story

Civic guard paintings, archaeology and silver broaden the visit. The orphanage, land reclamation and floods are also among the themes. Choose a few subjects that fit together, so that the sheer variety does not come at the expense of looking at a relaxed pace.

Taking in the building

The former functions of the building are part of the museum setting. Ask which parts of that history are made visible. The museum is usually open on Mondays too, but Sunday and various public holidays are closing days. The ticket desk closes earlier than the galleries.

Before you go

Check the public holiday closures and arrive before the ticket desk closes at 16.30.
