Museum van Zuilen: a district through work and daily life

Museum van Zuilen in Utrecht tells the story of industry, housing, schools and associations. Its location in the Werkspoor factory ties in with an important subject of the collection.

Plan your visit ↗

Werkspoor and Demka

Industry provides a clear starting point for the story of Zuilen. Ask how the objects and information on display are connected to the work. Then you can look further at what the museum shows about housing and the neighbourhood.

Streets, shops and associations

The collection is not limited to factories. Churches, schools, shops and the Julianapark offer other ways into daily life. Even without personal memories of Zuilen, you can build up a picture of the district this way.

On your own in the morning

Until one o’clock the visit is listed as looking around on your own without a guide. Preferably book in advance, and on Saturdays phone when you arrive, as the outer door of the company building may be closed. Holiday and winter hours may differ.

Before you go

Preferably book ahead, and check the current hours if visiting in winter or during the holidays.
