Collectie Brands: a collection with many ways in

Collectie Brands in Nieuw-Dordrecht, named after collector Jans Brands, describes books, coins, maps, tableware, clothing and many other objects. It is precisely this breadth that calls for a focused route through the museum.

Paper and objects

A map and an everyday object give different kinds of information. Read how they are brought together in the presentation, so that your visit becomes more than recognising individual things.

A register in the spotlight

The museum highlights a register of vassals (leenmannenregister) as an important piece in the collection. Ask what explanation is available. With an old manuscript, content and function are less self-evident than its appearance.

The farmhouse as well

The museum description mentions a preserved domestic interior. Looking at individual collection items thus sits alongside viewing a living environment. Take time for both.

Before you go

The official weekday opening starts at eleven o’clock. Arrange group visits and specific collection questions in advance.
