Grandmother’s kitchen in Nijmegen’s Kruittoren

Biscuit tins, cups, eggcups and a small grocer’s shop fill a historic tower with memories of household life.

Kitchenware in series

Many objects work best through comparison. Choose three tins or cups and pay attention to material, decoration and wear rather than just nostalgic recognition.

The little grocer’s shop

The shop display shifts attention from cooking to buying and storing. Look at packaging, measures and the counter, and ask which parts originally belonged together.

A collection in a tower

The Kruittoren gives the museum its character but brings stairs and limited accessibility with it. Viewing the tower beyond the museum space is not a given and may be linked to Monumentendag (Dutch heritage day).

Before you go

The museum is only open at weekends from April to September; on weekdays, groups of ten or more can book a package.
