Herinneringsmuseum Oegstgeest: everyday objects as conversation starters

The Herinneringsmuseum is located in the Van Wijckerslooth nursing home in Oegstgeest. Household objects from the 1930s and 1940s provide an occasion to look together and share memories.

Plan your visit ↗

Recognising or discovering

Some visitors will recognise something, while others may be seeing an object for the first time. Both reactions suit a visit. Ask what something was used for and make room for different experiences, without assuming that everyone shares the same past.

Looking with a volunteer

Volunteers from Marente give guided tours. A conversation can help make the collection accessible to different generations. Keep the visit calm and follow the interests of your group; memories do not need to become a knowledge test.

Visiting a care home

The museum is in a nursing home, so check in advance how you will be received as a visitor. Different addresses and opening times are circulating. Marente mentions the Van Wijckersloothplein and afternoon opening; have the current arrangement confirmed directly.

Before you go

Contact Marente before you set off for the correct address, the entrance and the current visiting afternoon.
