De IJsselvallei: regional geology in Olst

Geologisch Streekmuseum De IJsselvallei in Olst focuses on rocks and the geological setting of the IJssel valley. Erratic boulders form a concrete starting point for the visit.

Plan your visit ↗

Telling rocks apart

Colour, grain and structure offer a starting point for comparing stones with one another. Ask how such features are used in the museum to recognise and describe a find.

The region as a framework

The name IJsselvallei gives the visit a regional angle. Ask to have explained which finds on show are connected to this area and which serve to illustrate a broader phenomenon.

Small opening, arrange ahead

The fixed visiting times fall on the second weekend of the month, with a break around midday. Appointments are mentioned for other days; dropping in spontaneously is then not a reliable option.

Before you go

Check the separate Saturday and Sunday hours. Confirm a visit outside the fixed weekend directly with the museum.
