Elisabeth Weeshuis Museum

The Elisabeth Weeshuis Museum, located in Culemborg, serves as the city museum and showcases the rich history of the former orphanage, which housed over 700 orphaned children from 1560 until 1952. Visitors can explore a collection of art treasures, historical interiors, and interactive exhibits that narrate the social and historical stories of both the city and its children.

Housed in a monumental building with an adjacent garden, the museum celebrates 400 years of the orphanage and 100 years of its establishment as a museum. With impressive portraits of nobles and glimmering silver bowls, the museum offers a unique glimpse into the past while highlighting the voices of the children who grew up there.
