Sint-Paulusgasthuis: home of the Mutsenmuseum

The Sint-Paulusgasthuis in Sint-Oedenrode houses the Museum van Brabantse Mutsen en Poffers. Both names refer to the same visitor location on Kerkstraat, not to two separate museums.

Plan your visit ↗

Headwear up close

The collection focuses on Brabant caps (mutsen) and poffers. Start with two pieces that look different and examine their shape and finish. Then ask how the museum explains where and when they were worn.

An object with a name

The collection includes pieces associated with the mother of Bishop Bekkers. The explanation accompanying such an object lets you move from a type of headwear to a personal story. Read what information is given with it.

Attention for the building too

The hospice (gasthuis) provides the setting for the collection and shares the building with the tourist information point. Ask about the possibilities for seeing the enclosed garden. That way you can combine textiles and setting without having to plan a second museum visit.

Before you go

Tuesday to Saturday are visiting days. Confirm differing winter hours and accessibility; the Museumkaart (Dutch museum pass) is not valid.
