Psychiatry seen through time and language

Museum Psychiatrie Venray covers the past, present and future of mental health care. Guided tours are tailored to each group and therefore always require advance registration.

Plan your visit ↗

Language changes too

Pay attention to historical terms in documents and displays. Ask how the museum explains outdated language without unintentionally repeating it as a present-day diagnosis or judgement.

Treatment in context

Compare a historical treatment method with the explanation of care in its own period. Keep application, experience and later assessment side by side as separate questions.

Tailored guided tour

Schools, professional groups and general visitors can request a different emphasis. Indicate in advance which period or question should be central and what sensitivities are involved.

Before you go

By appointment only. From 1 April to 30 September, a guide is present on Wednesdays at 14.00 for a maximum of ten registered visitors, except on public holidays. Other requests at least a week in advance.
