Stadsmuseum Vollenhove: town, residents and surroundings

The Stadsmuseum Vollenhove covers, among other things, nobility, church, havezaten (manor estates) and fishing. Objects and furnished sections give these broad subjects a concrete starting point.

Plan your visit ↗

From book to clothing

A States Bible belonging to Arend Sloet and Schokker clothing are mentioned in the collection description. Ask about the context in which they are presented, so it does not stop at recognising the object.

Making daily life visible

A shop and a box bed bring housing and daily activities into view. Such displays are best viewed differently from a single object: the relationship between the parts carries the presentation.

Finds from Beulake

Finds from Beulake are also mentioned. Pay attention to their origin and to the explanation of what individual objects can, and cannot, tell about a place.

Before you go

The ground floor is described as wheelchair accessible. Ask which other rooms are accessible and check the differing Monday opening and the closure on Tuesday.
