Savelbergmuseum: an exhibition about community life

The Savelbergmuseum in Heerlen presents Een leven lang (A Lifetime), an exhibition about the Little Sisters of Saint Joseph. The former convent setting is the backdrop for a visit offered only to groups by appointment.

Plan your visit ↗

Care and education

The presentation covers the life and work of the sisters. See how daily tasks and community life are brought together in the explanations, without letting one story speak for everyone involved.

Rooms in context

The refectory and sacristy are named as exhibition spaces. The furnishings and the building can support the explanations, but without explanation they do not give a complete picture of their former use.

Tailoring a package

Guided tours and cultural activities can take different forms. Discuss in advance the subject, the duration and any additional elements available for your group.

Before you go

Visits are by appointment for at least eight people. Confirm the entrance, time and accessibility; other activities taking place in De Twee Gezusters do not mean the museum is openly accessible.
