Museum Amersfoort: city history in image and motion

Museum Amersfoort connects city history with art. The Amorfortia presentation uses, among other things, a multimedia city model as an entry point into the story of the town.

Plan your visit ↗

A model helps you get your bearings

A scale model makes the spatial layout of a town easy to grasp. Look at what information is added through image and sound, and distinguish the model from the present-day reality outside.

Objects and paintings

Urns and so-called Napoleon keys are mentioned alongside work by artists such as Withoos and Van Wittel. Ask about the context of individual pieces and about the current selection.

Making as an addition

The Maak Mee Atelier (join-in studio) offers a different part of the visit alongside looking and reading. Ask which activities are available on your day and how you can set aside time for them.

Before you go

Check the current presentation and any group arrangements. The museum mentions a lift, loan wheelchairs and an adapted toilet; discuss the facilities you need in advance.
