Museum De Schilpen: shop and home in Maasland

At De Schilpen, shopping and living are close together. A grocer’s shop and groats shop (grutterij), together with a house, warehouse and rentier’s house, form a village museum in Maasland.

Plan your visit ↗

The shop as a starting point

Start with the grocer’s shop and groats shop. See how the space is furnished and how shop work fits into it. It is a different way of looking at a village than through a series of major events: everyday activities come first.

Beyond the counter

The house and the other parts broaden the visit. Compare the rooms and their functions without seeing everything as a single household. If you want more explanation about the museum or the village centre, you can arrange a guided tour in advance.

Free, but at set times

Regular visits are free and possible on Wednesdays, Saturdays and the first Sunday of the month. Thursday morning is intended for handing in items, not for museum visits. Accessibility is limited, despite the stairlift.

Before you go

Do not confuse the Thursday hours for handing in items with public opening. Guided tours must always be arranged in advance.
