Oud Alkemade: the region as a subject

Museum Oud Alkemade in Oude Wetering focuses on the history of the former municipality of Alkemade. Changing exhibitions offer a different way into the region and its inhabitants each time.

Plan your visit ↗

Recognising a place

Start with the subject of the current exhibition. This makes clear which part of local history is being highlighted and what you can expect on this visit.

Childhood and memory

Toys and childhood are examples of themes from the programme. Subjects like these can get different generations talking; let the explanations distinguish between personal recognition and the history presented.

A limited schedule

The museum has fixed visiting afternoons on Tuesday and Sunday. Arrangements are possible for groups, so a visit outside those times can be discussed in advance.

Before you go

The museum is closed in July and August. Also check the Christmas, Easter and Whitsun holidays, and discuss group visits with the secretary.
