Museum Beesel: Draaksteken and ceramics in the town hall

Museum Beesel, in the old town hall, brings together two local subjects: the Draaksteken (dragon slaying) and ceramic heritage. The building on the Markt is a starting point for a closer look at the village.

Plan your visit ↗

Understanding a tradition

The presentation on the Draaksteken gives context to a tradition that not every visitor knows. Start with the general explanation and see which aspects the museum highlights. That way you do not need to have seen a performance already to follow the subject.

Ceramics up close

Work associated with St. Joris and Loré offers another way in. Look at material and execution and read the provenance information. A Keramisch Ommetje (ceramics walk) can link the museum visit with art in the village, provided you set aside time for it.

The season is drawing to a close

Public opening is on Sundays and ends on 27 September in 2026. The museum is closed in winter. There are steps at the entrance, so discuss in advance whether access is feasible for your group.

Before you go

Check the last open Sunday and allow for the steps at the entrance.
