It transcends the name regional museum.", said an enthusiastic visitor. Discover, search, play, and enjoy in this beautiful museum, just south of Eindhoven in the lovely Kempen landscape.

Farmers' Intelligence
Discover how the people of Kempen lived, worked, and thrived in a time when farmers could barely survive on the poor heathland.

The museum shows how the region overcame these tough times and through innovation and collaboration became one of the smartest regions in the world.

Enjoy on Location
Located along the junction route, the museum welcomes many cyclists, walkers, culture enthusiasts, bus groups, and (grand)parents with children. Fully accessible for people with disabilities, the museum also offers spoken texts for the blind and visually impaired. The deaf and hard of hearing can read texts: this way, everyone enjoys the lively history of this remarkable piece of Brabant. Outside, you can enjoy the fragrant herb, flower, and forgotten vegetable garden, which is situated against a gem of an orchard with old apple trees. Art is also not forgotten at this amazing location.

Creative Nostalgia
For groups, there are various interactive arrangements to explore the museum and its surroundings. Such as the "Smuggler's Walk" or "Limitless Enjoyment."
