[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Opening hours: every Tuesday to Sunday, 10 AM \u2013 5 PM<\/p>\n

Admission to the whole museum is free of charge, but registration at the desk upon entering is required.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”2″ padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”50″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]Opening hours
\n<\/strong>The museum is open every Tuesday to Sunday from 10 AM until 5 PM. Admission to the museum is free of charge. We kindly ask visitors to report to the reception desk upon arrival.<\/p>\n

Public Holidays<\/strong>
\nThe museum is closed on Christmas Day (25 December), Boxing Day (26 December), New Year\u2019s Day (1 January), King\u2019s Day (27 April), Liberation Day (5 May), Easter Monday, and Whit Monday. On New Year\u2019s Eve (31 December), the museum is open until 3:30 PM.<\/p>\n

Maintenance Work<\/span>
\nFrom 6 to 30 August, the ramp in the main hall will be painted. To protect the 2.000-year-old Roman ship, it will be temporarily covered. The display cases containing the ship\u2019s finds will also not be visible during this period. The rest of the museum, including the exhibition 3.000 Years of Living and Working and the Wood Chamber, will remain open as usual.<\/p>\n

Accessibility<\/strong>
\nCastellum Hoge Woerd is largely accessible to all visitors. An elevator is available in both the entrance hall and the main hall. Reserved parking spaces are located near the main entrance, and accessible toilets are available throughout the building. The platform of the temporary exhibition can only be reached via a few steps. The ramp in the main hall is relatively steep and may be less comfortable for visitors using a wheelchair or walker. The intermediate doors on the ramparts are relatively heavy to open.<\/p>\n

Group visits
\n<\/strong>Museum Hoge Woerd organises many hundreds of guided tours and school visits each year. To ensure an optimal museum experience and\/or guided tour, we kindly request that all groups of 15 or more people register in advance by sending an email to museum@castellumhogewoerd.nl. The museum charges a modest fee for group tours and school visits to cover the cost of tour guides\/attendants and materials.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]Contact<\/strong>

Children aged 16 and under may only visit the museum when accompanied by an adult, except during organised educational activities. Adult supervision is also recommended in the Windows on the Fort exhibition and on the fort ramparts.<\/p>\n

Dogs<\/strong>
\nDogs are welcome only in the courtyard and the Castellum Caf\u00e9. Dogs must be kept on a leash and accompanied by an adult. Assistance dogs are welcome throughout the museum and Castellum Hoge Woerd.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
