Crystal Museum

Which stones were used to start fires? What does a meteorite really look like? How do you pan for gold in a river? Learn this and more at the Crystal Museum.

The most enjoyable museum for all ages in the Achterhoek houses hundreds of gems, minerals and fossils.

It is also home to the skeleton of a cave bear and the remains of dinosaurs. See how stones grow in the replica mine and see the colours of certain stones under ultraviolet light in the darkroom. Afterwards, you can wash “gold” yourself and feel like a real treasure hunter.

There’s always a nice souvenir to be found in the beautiful museum shop and gallery.
