Exhibitions

(November 2, 2025 to March 29, 2026)

Starting November 2, our museum will host the exhibition 'Modern Times.' In the 'Modern Times' series, photographer Rogier Alleblas explores the complex relationship between humans and nature. With humor and realism, he examines how people relate to their immediate surroundings.

Rogier Alleblas captures human behavior in photographic still lifes reminiscent of the Dutch masters of the 17th century. But something feels off. Plastic waste, food waste, overconsumption, and phone addiction creep into the images. Topics such as transience and environmental issues are portrayed in a confrontational manner, with a touch of humor. In images that initially appear innocent, major social problems of our time are depicted both subtly and powerfully.

We take you to the Roman times, the Middle Ages, the 18^th century to today. How Westland originated and how it could grow into the world’s largest horticultural area in the world. Meet families from the past and the present and go on this journey through the centuries.

In our historical garden at the back of the museum you can enjoy a walk between flowers, vegetables and fruit trees. You will see how horticulture developed from the 18^th century up to the present day. Every day our volunteers do their utmost to show the garden at its best. Take a look at our herb patch, an old hothouse for grapes, a fruit wall of visit our chickens, birds and rabbits.
