Vehicles as a collecting theme

The collection described includes classic cars. Feel free to start with the shape: bodywork, wheels and seats give you points of reference for looking at a vehicle without knowing every make. The explanation can then show why this particular example belongs in the collection.

A journey through lace

The museum’s own presentation on lace mentions hand-made bobbin lace, lace pillows, samplers and sewing implements, among other things. Here the focus shifts to material and handiwork. See how a small detail forms part of a larger pattern.

Building and moving too

Meccano constructions and model trains are also part of what is on offer. The museum thus presents different scales side by side: from vehicle to model and from large construction to fine textile. Let your route follow the subjects that make you curious.

Changing exhibitions

Alongside its permanent collection, ’t Andere Museum hosts changing exhibitions; at present, inventor Nikola Tesla is the focus.

Before you go

’t Andere Museum and Museum Pakhuis Koophandel are two names for the same venue. Check the schedule and any occasional closures before you set off.
