Museum

Limburgs Museum is the museum for culture and history in Limburg.

The Limburgs Museum

The Limburgs Museum is one of the most popular family outings in the Netherlands. Experience the history and culture of Limburg. From Neanderthals to knights, from Romans to miners. Travel through time! There are always stimulating temporary exhibitions for young and old on various subjects. The large, interactive exhibition about the work of children's book author Paul van Loon, known among other things from Dolfje Weerwolfje, was very popular. And in 2019, the retrospective of artist Evert Thielen, known for his gigantic polyptychs, attracted more than 100,000 visitors.

Special location

The museum is located on a spot where the city walls and fortifications of the City of Venlo were located over centuries. After they were demolished in 1870, the site was used as a marshalling yard for private railway companies, which maintained an important international link via Venlo. The oldest remaining filling station can also be found beside the station. This Esso filling station was built in 1933 and, since the seventies, has offered a roof for various institutions and companies. The history of the site was an important source of inspiration for the architect Jeanne Dekkers in the creation of her design for the museum.

Family Exhibition Party!

Our province is bursting with festivities: from Lentelaovend and shooting festivals to Ramadan celebrations and bar mitzvahs. Many cultures provide different kinds of celebrations as well as a lot of revelry. With all these celebrations we want to have fun, enjoy ourselves together with friends and family, but also pay attention to the important moments in our lives. In the ongoing family exhibition Feest! you will discover which celebrations are celebrated in Limburg using all kinds of game elements. But also how, with whom, why and how these celebrations change over time. A feast of recognition!
