Valkerij en Sigarenmakerij Museum: two sides of Valkenswaard

The Valkerij en Sigarenmakerij Museum (Falconry and Cigar-Making Museum) brings together two different subjects from the history of Valkenswaard. The combination invites you to look not only at similarities, but above all at differences.

Plan your visit ↗

Start with falconry

The display on falconry offers a way into an activity that is unfamiliar to many visitors. Use the film or audio guide to get to know the terms. Let the museum’s explanation show what belongs to which period and method.

Then the making of cigars

The second collection shifts the focus to cigar-making. See how the work is explained and which actions are central. Give each subject its own time, so that the transition does not feel like just another room with different objects.

Together or on your own

There are trails for children; groups can arrange a guided tour. The museum is wheelchair accessible and has an adapted toilet. A combination with the Steendrukmuseum is possible, but the opening days are not the same: Sunday is not a regular opening day here.

Before you go

Check this museum’s own opening times, even with a Museumkwartier combination ticket.
