Visit a museum

You will find plenty of Gorcumse stories in our museums. Do the Martyrs of Gorcum sound familiar? The Gorcums Museum tells you all about these brave priests. And about Hugo de Groot (Grotius), who escaped from Slot Loevestein in a book chest. In the Hamelhuis, you get to know the 17th-century naval hero Hendrick Hamel and his exciting adventures in Korea, with surprising themes! There are even more fascinating museums to visit in the area. Take a ferry to Slot Loevestein and the Biesbosch Museumeiland or cycle to the Glass Museum in Leerdam. Or visit one of the small picturesque museums in the Vestingdriehoek and Alblasserwaard.
