Schatkamer Onze Lieve Vrouwebasiliek: art and devotion

The treasury at the Onze Lieve Vrouwebasiliek in Maastricht presents church art and objects related to devotion. Reliquaries, textiles, statues and silver offer different ways of looking at the collection.

Plan your visit ↗

An object with meaning

Look at how material and decoration draw attention to an object. The explanations help you understand the religious function, without deducing that meaning from appearance alone.

Textiles and reliquaries

A small reliquary box and a liturgical vestment each call for a different approach. Read what context is given for the item on display, and check whether it is on view if you are coming for a specific piece.

Including the basilica

The church and the treasury are connected but separate parts of a visit. An open basilica does not automatically mean that the collection is accessible at the same time.

Before you go

The listed seasonal and weekly hours differ; confirm the current treasury opening times before you set off. Also discuss accessibility and any group conditions separately from a visit to the church.
