museum het valkhof印象

The museum is housed in the old center of Nijmegen, next to the park with the same name. The building is very modern with a lot of glass and is very light. Probably the most impressive part of the collection is the Roman part (well at least for the Netherlands), as Nijmegen was one of few Roman cities a lot of historic artifacts were found and are now on display in the museum. Most art (which ranges from the Roman times till now) is relating Nijmegen, so for locals very interesting, but even for tourists such as me it was a nice museum at a nice location.I liked the exhibition about "Why goddesses are so beautiful" It is all about how woman tried to make themselves prettier from the Egyptian times till recent!... Jewel, beauty product, paintings, statues etc. etc... Very nice.

Nijmegen has an amazing history and all this you can see in this museum. Their collection is various and it starts already from before the Romans until today. A must see ....

The Romans had an extensive fort and community here 2000 years ago that they named Noviomagus. The museum has extensive artifacts and models. There was an interesting 1960's feminist art show on at the time that was quite good

During a rainy day I decided that it was a perfect moment to visit this museum. I didn't know anything about this museum and had little expectations. So I was pleasantly surprised that the collection is awesome and very varied, from Roman art and medieval paintings to modern art and some very interesting but pretty unknown artists. I was delighted with a painting by one of my favorites Carel Willink and I was stunned by the art of painter Chris Le Roy with his birds, worth to check out! The building delivers three levels and is very modern and convenient, highly recommended!

Interesting Roman archeological art and information. This month there was also another exhibition (something with color) but it was nothing special and it had some really ugly paintings. The pop art collection was however very nice.

I went to this museum during my weekend-wandering. It is a very nice one.The collections range from archaeological stuffs even to modern art. It can cover a broad interest from the visitors. For sure, a lot of knowledge about history can be found here.The interior of the museum is great! It is very comfortable to enjoy the whole museum, seeing great stuffs, while being in a thoughtful design that makes you feel good to be there.The only, but the strongest, drawback for this museum is that almost all written information there are in Dutch. If you don't speak Dutch, I can hardly imagine how you will understand the information there.

After paying the nine euro admission I noticed a couple of people standing on the main stairs wearing black, futzing behind music stands. FREE CONCERT!! So after shuffling through the museum/gallery which was very good and set in an exquisite building, I heard some noises from the stairs. Next thing you know, six or seven or eight people climbed up the stairs - all holding large white balloons. The 'crowd' welcomed them with polite applause. 'What's next?' I said to myself. Well what was next was that the people holding the balloons stepped up to their mics, put the balloons to their mouths, and filled the hall with the most ungodly noise I have ever heard in my life. I went to Three Dog Night concerts in the 70s so I've heard some strange noises - this topped everything. It went on, not surprisingly, until all the air left the balloons. I videoed a minute of it. There will be entertainment value from that video later. I'd post the clip, but it would break the Internet. Warning - Do NOT ignore the 'watch your step' signs on the way out - for some reason the crazy architect put an all but invisible nine-inch drop in the floor just before you go through the entrance. Miss that drop and the consequences could be very unpleasant.

Very impressive, light, interior to this modern building. Its location perched high up gives a delightful view out, through huge picture windows, to a park beyond, & to the bridge over the Waal River, below. The contents of the museum are extremely varied, which is both a plus and a minus. For English speakers, the interesting WWII exhibit is almost incomprehensible as all the descriptions are written in Dutch & German. The cafe is disappointingly limited in its array of foods, & had a plastic atmosphere. Hoped to also see the Liberation Museum in Nijmegen, only to learn after a two hour trip to Nijmegen that the museum is not in Nijmegen.

A modern museum with space used well. Dramatic contrasts between Roman glass and pottery, mediaeval paintings and the glass & steel construction. Nice cafe which just happened to have an amazing duo playing when I visited. Made me stop and order another coffee to stay longer and listen. Some lovely views through the windows of one of the bridges across the river. Interesting shop with some locally made products. Downstairs, the pop art exhibition has some unusual pieces included knitted coral. Don't miss the leaning column outside with tortoise on top (you have to look hard)

the Valkhof Museum is a great place for spending a rainy - or too sunny- afternoon. The exhibtions range from Archaeology (the museum holds most of the material on the Roman in Nijmegen) as well as paintings and a lovely cameo exhibition on the Peace of Nijmegen incl. the famous Antwerp wallhangings and a dolls house like model of the place where the treaty negotiations were held. Add to that a wide range of changing exhibitions, incl. modern art and experience exhibitions for children, a good bookshop and a very nice colourful cafe and you have a beautiful attraction for the whole family
