De Proefkolonie: plans and practice in Frederiksoord

Museum De Proefkolonie describes a multimedia route about the Colonies of Benevolence. The presentation sets ambitions alongside the daily life associated with them.

Plan your visit ↗

A route in three parts

According to the organisation, the museum experience takes you through three rooms, with subjects including poverty in the city and the arrival of colonists. Follow the sequence to see how it fits together.

Where ideas and life meet

The exhibition room deals with the relationship between plans and practice. Notice which examples the museum uses to make that difference understandable, without mistaking the depiction for an eyewitness account.

Mobility in the tram shed (Tramloods)

The separate exhibition Retour Maatschappij is about transport in the colonies. Ask about combining it with the main visit if you also want to see this location.

Before you go

Regular opening Tuesday to Sunday, with extra opening in the holidays. Confirm the admission conditions and the availability of the Tramloods presentation.
