The work behind clean clothes
The washing and ironing collection includes implements for looking after clothes, supplemented by art. This gives an everyday task its own place in the museum. Note the difference between a tool and a picture: one shows a means, the other a depiction of the work.
Bonnets, poffers and caps
‘Brabant GoedGemutst’ mentions bonnets, poffers, caps and klakken, among others. See how shape and finish differ between the headdresses. The combination with the washing and ironing collection also prompts you to think about how such garments were looked after.
A visit with attention to access
Regular opening is on Wednesday and Friday afternoons. Groups of eight or more can book a guided tour by appointment, including outside those hours. The museum is not fully wheelchair accessible; video panels are mentioned as an alternative way of viewing the collections. Discuss in advance what is accessible for you.
Before you go
Check the public holiday exceptions and discuss any accessibility questions.
