Maastricht Museum: the city through different periods

Maastricht Museum is on the first floor of Centre Céramique. The city display covers a wide range of periods, from prehistory and Roman subjects to the fortress, industry and modern Maastricht.

Plan your visit ↗

Following a timeline

Start with the overview of the display. It helps you keep different periods apart before you focus on an object or theme.

A city with several roles

Fortress city, factory city and city of knowledge are different perspectives. See how the museum explains the transition between such subjects and which examples it uses.

A route for children

The Kleio treasure hunt offers an additional way to explore the museum. On arrival, ask how it suits age and the time available, and which parts it takes in.

Before you go

Check the museum hours separately from those of Centre Céramique. Ask about the lift and accessible route to the first floor; temporary exhibitions and public holidays may change the visiting programme.
