Streekmuseum Stevensweert/Ohé en Laak

A visit to Streekmuseum Stevensweert / Oh? and Laak starts watching the film 'Eiland in de Maas: Van all times'. This short film gives you more information about the history of Stevensweert and Oh? and Laak. After the film you can go and see the museum's collection. This collection is divided into several themes. One of the collections consists of dredging finds that came out of the ground during the excavations. For example, in 1942 a silver cup from Roman times was found among the dredged stones. Other dredging finds include iron tools, weapons and skeletal parts of mammoths. Another collection is dedicated to Jan van Steffeswert, a famous late Middle Ages sculptor who was probably born in Stevensweert. The museum also pays attention to Castle Stevensweert, Castle Walburg, the Stevensweert fortress and historical coins and medals. The coins come from various places along the Limburg Maas, where coins used to be minted.
