    - Would recommend

    Museum Catharijneconvent image
    Museum is great for lovers of christian art. You will learn a lot through out the 3 floors. They offer free audio guides in english. Not all of the displayed art has signs in english. When we visited the rooms were really cold so I wouldn't recommend wearing just a tank top. The staff was very very nice. See more..

    The mannenzaal, or men's hall is a very interesting historic site in the beautiful town of amersfoort.! We went during the special weekend where monuments were all open to the public for free. What an interesting place! The actors, in traditional dress really helped to bring the place to life. An amazing place to visit, See more..

  9. 4.0 MOA (32 reviews)
    - MOA is one of a kind
    Spent 1-2 hours Art Museums • History Museums
    MOA image
    The MOA museum is one of a kind. The staff is helpful, kind, professional and they certainly seem to know everything about the exhibitions (Chinese wallpaper, Dutch artist Armando, history of the estate). The building itself is part of the Amelisweerd estate and has been thoroughly restaured and refurbished throughout the past few years. If you happen to be in the neighbourhood...go there. And if you're not around....go there as well. You won't be disappointed. See more..

    A small museum about the local area and its history, located in the same building as the local library. Signposting to the museum could be improved.

    - Bezoek waard!

    St. Grebbelinie In Het Vizier image
    Bezoek aan dit kleine museum is zeker de moeite waard. Naast een rondleiding binnen en een korte film kun je zelf buiten op de grebbelinie kijken, waar oa een loopgraaf is nagemaakt. De gids die ons vertelde over het museum wist er erg veel van en deelde veel boeiende verhalen. Indrukwekkend was het verhaal over zijn vader, wiens foto terecht in het museum hangt. De collectie in het museum wordt telkens uitgebreid. Persoonlijk vond ik dit een mooier en informatiever museum dan het bezoekerscentrum grebbelinie.
    In de buurt? Zeker langsgaan!     See more..
  17. 5.0 Museum Het Hernhutter Huis (1 review)
    - Zeer interessant!
    Wednesday: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM History Museums
    Tijdens ons bezoek aan Zeist hebben we het Hernhutterhuis bezocht. We werden zeer vriendelijk ontvangen. We konden starten met een korte of met een lange film waarin de onstaansgeschiedenis van de Hernhutters werd uitgelegd. Daarnaast werden een aantal tradities belicht. Vervolgens was het mogelijk om de tentoonstelling te bezoeken. Door de informatiefilm begrepen we beter wat we zagen. Daarnaast was het ook mogelijk om een aantal schilderijen te bekijken. Het bezoek eindigt in de museumwinkel waar het onder andere mogelijk is om prachtige hernhuttersterren te kopen. Ook is er veel leerzaam speelgoed voor kinderen. Ik vond het zeer gastvrij dat koffie en thee bij het bezoek inbegrepen zat. De entreeprijs is slechts een paar euro; de prijs/kwaliteit verhoudig is uitstekend. Bedankt voor de informatieve middag!
