Oud Oosterhout: a place on several scales

Brabants Museum Oud Oosterhout combines an indoor museum with a crafts barn and a miniature park. This lets you look at daily life and the built environment on different scales.

A street in miniature

The miniatures show buildings from Oosterhout. Notice how streets and relative proportions are represented, and read which situation the display sets out to show.

Crafts up close

In the Flemish barn (Vlaamse schuur), cooperage and shoemaking, among others, are featured. The explanations with the tools help you move from a small replica town to concrete work.

Looking further indoors

The farm room, classroom and printing works offer yet other angles. See how the rooms are furnished and which activities the presentation makes understandable through them.

Before you go

Check closures on public holidays and during Carnival. The museum mentions good wheelchair access indoors and outdoors; guided tours, schools and groups need to make arrangements in advance.
