A museum that explores boundaries

Valkhof Museum, Nijmegen (NL)

For centuries, the Dutch border city of Nijmegen has been a meeting place for people from different cultures. Valkhof Museum’s collection tells the story.

 Valkhof Museum, Nijmegen

People at the borders

Visitors to the redesigned exhibition will encounter transhistoric, boundary-crossing presentations and installations. The displays will show how, throughout history, Nijmegen’s identity has been defined by the borders around it.

The boundaries of being human

The exhibition on the museum’s upper floor will look at what it means to be human. Spectacular presentation techniques and provocative ideas will get visitors thinking about big, timeless subjects like sex, power, identity and meaning.
