Museum ’s-Gravenhof of the Historische Vereniging Capelle presents Capelle in Miniatuur. Architectural and scale models bring local history together on a manageable scale.

Plan your visit ↗

A place from above

A model makes the relationship between buildings and surroundings visible. See which place it represents and which period the explanation mentions before comparing it with present-day Capelle.

Choices in a model

A miniature cannot include every detail. Notice what the maker emphasises and how scale and material help to make a building or street recognisable.

Taking a catalogue home

A catalogue is mentioned with the exhibition. At home it can help you place the models you have seen again; ask about availability if you want to read up on the subjects later.

Before you go

The usual opening is Saturday afternoon. Check the announced closure for refitting from late November 2026 and make an appointment for group visits at other times.
