The Gorcums Museum is modern and contemporary: we reflect on history while also embracing everything happening today. Since 1995, we have been located at our current premises, but our history goes back much further. The museum is situated in the heart of the most beautiful fortified city in the Netherlands. Gorinchem is a city rich in culture and history. A walk through its center naturally sparks curiosity about the stories behind it. The Gorcums Museum showcases a selection of this illustrious past, featuring art from both past and present, as well as objects from the city's history. In short, it’s a historical and contemporary museum where history comes to life, and rotating (art) exhibitions continuously surprise visitors of all ages.
