Dordrechts Museum reads six centuries of painting

In galleries on the Museumstraat, six centuries of Dutch painting and temporary exhibitions come together, leaving room to compare style, subject and the city’s history.

Paintings across the long view

Choose works from two centuries and compare light, composition and materials. This makes change visible without reducing the collection to a single chronological story.

A Dordrecht perspective

Look for a work connected to Dordrecht and check on the label whether that link lies with the artist, the subject, the collector or the presentation.

The temporary gallery as a complement

A temporary exhibition can explore an artist or theme in depth. Check the dates and booking conditions in advance, as the programme changes.

Before you go

Open Tuesday–Sunday 11.00–17.00; closed on Monday. The restaurant is open Tuesday–Sunday 10.00–18.00. New Year’s Day, King’s Day and Christmas Day are closing days; on New Year’s Eve it closes at 16.00. Check temporary exhibitions and current admission prices in advance.
