Volunteers from the Valkenburg museum have worked hard in recent months so that the museum can open its doors again this weekend.
In total, the museum has been closed for more than a year and a half. The museum was forced to close due to the corona pandemic. When the museum is open again for three weeks last summer, it will be badly damaged by the flood disaster. Paintings and the building are heavily damaged.

Resi Vervoort could never have believed that they can open again this weekend: “You have to imagine everything was gone, no exhibition materials, nothing.” Chairman Franklin Boon likes to look to the future: “The walls, the ceilings, it is all more beautiful than it was before and that gives power.”
‘Make-do’
The museum runs entirely on volunteers who get the scoop this week to view the new exhibits. In total there are four exhibitions and on Saturday they can be viewed again to the public. Boon sees that the building has been transformed from a ‘little piece’ museum into a museum with national allure that attracts audiences from far outside Valkenburg.
