Het Markiezenhof, Bergen op Zoom

Unexpected gem in this pretty city. Nice, interesting collections but just the building itself is well worth seeing and hanging out in.

The museum explains the origins of the city of Bergen op Zoom, its marquesses and its defenses. The museum is very interactive; audio and video play automatically when sitting in certain places, or pushing buttons (hydro alcoholic gel available in the different rooms of the museum). It's a nice museum for kids, who will have a great time at the "Kermis zolder" where you can find miniature carrousels and other curiosities. Two treasure hunts for kids available: one for the temporary exhibition "Koele wateren" and one for the Kermis zolder. Lockers available at the entrance to leave your bag and coat (tokens available (free) at reception). Due to the covid regulations you must book a timeslot for your visit (70 people can enter the museum every half hour). Facemasks are not required in the museum.
