In den Scherminckel: archaeology on the Wassenaarstraat

In den Scherminckel in Bergen op Zoom offers a museum, ArcheoHotspot and archaeological depot. The public area on the Wassenaarstraat introduces visitors to finds and subjects from the surrounding area.

Plan your visit ↗

Understanding a find

A fragment needs context. Look at what information is given about location, use or interpretation and how the museum deals with uncertainty or differing explanations in its texts.

A temporary subject

Alongside the permanent display there are temporary exhibitions, including on finds from the fortifications. Check what is currently on show, so that older announcements do not shape all your expectations.

The fortress tour separately

The foundation also organises visits to De Verborgen Vesting. This is a separate guided tour that you book; free access to the ArcheoHotspot does not automatically give access underground.

Before you go

Check the Wednesday and Saturday afternoon opening and any special days. The current address is Wassenaarstraat 61; the underground fortress route also has its own accessibility restrictions.
