Exhibitions
Nature and museum enthusiasts will have the time of their lives in the various exhibitions. “Wonderful!” according to ‘ three mature ladies from Haaren”. You can do your own nature research in the OO-ZONE of this very accessible museum, or go ‘mammoth hunting’ in the Ice Age!, wander around the second floor through ‘BOS’ (a realistic fairytale all about the four seasons) and experience the beauty and diversity of the Brabant countryside and its inhabitants in the Jouw Brabant, mijn Brabant(Your Brabant, mine Brabant) exhibition. There is so much to do that 13 year old Anne also likes coming back: “I come here as often as I can, and it’s always educational and fun. I hope future visitors have lots of enjoyment!”
Accessibility
The museum has an informal cafe and a lovely shop while at the same time being easily accessible for the disabled. The multilingual staff and information in English, German and French make it most suitable for international visitors. The museum is also the ideal spot to learn more about the great diversity of the Brabant countryside, and also about the animals that once roamed here, such as woolly mammoths and rhinos, sable toothed tigers and lions.
