’s-Gravenhof: seeing Capelle in miniature

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

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. A closure for refitting is announced from late November 2026; group visits at other times are by appointment.
