The museum focuses on archaeology in the archaeological department, where the influence of man on the landscape is shown. Man has used the landscape, but has also created it. This leads to various stories hidden in the landscape, stories about geology, archaeology, nature, daily life and religion. Another department contains Dutch Art and Applied Art from the period 1885-1935. This period is characterized by tempestuous developments in both ‘’free’ and applied art. Simultaneously, many artists remain true to traditions which still have a lot to offer. During the last few decades, the Museum collected contemporary realistic art and owns over 1.500 works.
