A region in objects
Agricultural and craft tools stand alongside archaeological finds. Ask, for each object, where it was used or found. That local background makes the difference between a general collection and a story about Putten.
Clothing and learning
Knipmutsen and mourning caps draw attention to clothing and customs. School life forms another theme. In 2026, a temporary exhibition about the illustrator Cornelis Jetses is mentioned; check the current programme if you want to come for that.
An afternoon at Schovenhorst
The museum has a season running from April to October. In July and August an extra Tuesday afternoon is added. Outside the season there is no regular drop-in; groups can discuss an appointment.
Before you go
Check the exhibition dates and the season; from November to March there are no regular visiting afternoons.
