Broer een levenlang Boer: implements with images alongside

In Holten, Broer een levenlang Boer keeps farm tools and paintings by Broer Pekkeriet. Objects, video and murals each approach farm work in a different way.

Plan your visit ↗

The task behind the implement

Choose an object whose shape makes you curious. Look in the explanation for the task it was used for. That makes a collection of tools easier to understand than simply memorising a list of names and dates.

Movement on film

Video about how things were used can show what remains hidden in a stationary implement. Then look at the object again: which part do you now understand better? An image of use and a preserved object complement each other in different ways.

Paintings in the same visit

Paintings and murals are also part of what is on offer. Look at how a painted scene directs attention, compared with the objects beside it. An artist can place emphases that you can then discuss with the help of the museum’s explanations.

Before you go

The house number is given as both 38 and 40; confirm the entrance. Friday–Sunday and outside the season by appointment only.
