Rijssens Museum: town history between household goods and art

The Rijssens Museum at De Oosterhof focuses on the town and its surroundings. The jute industry, furnished living rooms and the Van Heel collection form the elements mentioned.

Plan your visit ↗

Working in the town

The jute industry gives the visit a concrete subject around labour. Ask to have explained which activities and objects the current presentation connects, without technical prior knowledge as a requirement.

Daily life indoors

The furnished rooms shift the focus to domestic life. Look at how furniture and everyday objects together form a space, and what explanation the museum gives for the chosen arrangement.

A collection of its own

The Van Heel collection is mentioned as a permanent element. Ask about the current selection when you come specially for it; a collection listing does not mean every work is visible at the same time.

Before you go

The Brandweermuseum is located on the same site. Check access and any combination options separately, plus any exceptions on public holidays.
