Smederij Van de Kamp: living beside the craft

Smederijmuseum H.J. van de Kamp in Sint-Oedenrode combines a small house with blacksmith’s tools. The museum can be visited by appointment only and offers a small-scale look at living and working.

Plan your visit ↗

Tools with a function

In the smithy, look at a tool whose function you do not immediately recognise. Ask what action it was used for and what properties that required. This turns the tool into a way into the trade, rather than just an old object.

A domestic counterpart

In the house, the furnishings include a box bed (bedstee) and a stove (plattebuiskachel), among other things. They shift the focus from work to daily life. Compare the space available and ask how the different parts of the house were used.

Highlighting a small detail

The statuette of Saint Oda offers yet another point of connection. Ask what place it has in the museum’s story. For an arranged visit, it is worth mentioning your interests in advance, so that there can be room for questions about the craft or the interior.

Before you go

First make a confirmed appointment. Various contact details are in circulation; at the same time, check accessibility, duration and any admission charge.
