Gorcums Museum reads the city through art and history

On the Grote Markt, the Gorcums Museum combines the city’s history with art from in and around Gorinchem and a programme of temporary exhibitions.

Plan your visit ↗

The city in objects

Choose an object with a clear Gorinchem connection and determine whether that link lies with the maker, user, find site or subject.

Art alongside history

Compare a work of art with a historical object from the same period. Notice what each one shows and which information is missing.

The temporary gallery tests expectations

The temporary programme can change the visitor route considerably. Check the title and dates, and do not use older exhibition pages as a current calendar.

Before you go

Open Tuesday–Saturday 10.00–17.00 and Sunday 13.00–17.00; closed on Monday. According to the museum information, admission is free on Wednesdays and on the second Sunday of the month. An old English-language listing gives different Monday and Thursday hours; follow the Dutch visitor information.
