Oudheidkamer Ridderkerk: a village in a school building

The Oudheidkamer Ridderkerk on Kerksingel presents local history in a former village school. A permanent display and changing exhibitions offer different ways into Ridderkerk’s heritage.

Plan your visit ↗

An everyday subject

An exhibition on household items shows how everyday objects can become a museum subject. Check the current programme to see which theme is central and what explanation accompanies it.

Recognising the space

The school setting and the wedding room make the building more than a neutral exhibition venue. Look for places where the layout still prompts you to think about how the rooms were used.

An approachable visit

Admission is offered free of charge. You can visit the display on set afternoons; outside that schedule, appointments are possible, depending on the guides available.

Before you go

Regular visiting is Wednesday to Saturday afternoon. Discuss a group appointment or any specific accessibility question in advance; the museum information mentions wheelchair access.
