Museum Nagele: a village designed as a whole

In a former church, Museum Nagele explains how architects designed a new polder village around housing, greenery and shared facilities.

Permanent architecture presentation

The architecture presentation explains how Nagele was designed as a whole. Choose one street or courtyard and, during a walk through the village, look for what you have learned about the design.

A new village on film

Louis van Gasteren’s ‘Een nieuw dorp’ gives moving images and a voice to the village’s creation. Note who is speaking and which ideal the film emphasises.

The church as museum space

The building by Taen and Nix is itself part of the story. See how light, construction and the original function shape the current presentation.

Before you go

Navigation may require Ring 25 while the museum’s address is Ring 23. The Museumkaart (Dutch museum pass) is not valid; a guided tour of the village can be booked separately.
