Vasteloavends Museum Kirchroa: celebration in objects

The Vasteloavends Museum Kirchroa covers Kerkrade’s carnival through carnival orders, uniforms, photos and documents. Images and sound complement the collection, so that different sides of the festivities become visible.

Plan your visit ↗

Reading a decoration

Look at which text and symbols appear on an order and read which occasion it belongs to. The local context makes clear why a small object has a place in the collection.

Costume and image

Uniforms and photos show other aspects of carnival life. Compare how people and groups are portrayed and what the museum explains about their role.

A seasonal museum

Regular Sunday opening runs from October to Halfvasten (mid-Lent). Appointments, including evening visits, may offer other options but require a specific booking.

Before you go

Check the season and last admission. A width restriction applies to wheelchairs; discuss a suitable route or a loan wheelchair in advance and confirm the facilities available.
