Boerderijmuseum Grutje: now a farm shop

Boerderijmuseum Grutje has not reopened as a public museum. On the farmyard in Hilvarenbeek, Grutje now presents a farm shop in a rebuilt farmhouse. The shop’s opening hours should therefore not be read as a museum timetable.

Plan your visit ↗

A changed purpose

The former museum was lost in a fire. The current website emphasises farm produce and the story of Grutje, without offering a new permanent museum route.

The story behind the name

The name remains linked to the woman who formerly lived there and to the earlier initiative. This gives context to the present site, but does not guarantee any preserved interior or collection that visitors can see.

Planning a shop visit

If you are going to Groot Loo, plan on the basis of what the shop currently offers. Ask separately whether an explanation or activity is available if you are coming specifically for the heritage story.

Before you go

There is no current museum timetable. The Friday and Saturday hours apply to the farm shop; old reports of the museum returning are not a confirmed reopening.
