Zilvermuseum Sterckshof, Silver museum in Deurne, Belgium
Description
Zilvermuseum Sterckshof is a museum dedicated to silver craftsmanship and housed within a neo-Flemish Renaissance castle. The collection spans from the 16th century to contemporary times and includes both domestic and religious silver objects.
History
The museum opened in 1994 within Sterckshof castle and operated for 2 decades before closing in 2014. Its collection was subsequently integrated into a new silver pavilion and consolidated with other institutions.
Culture
The collection is organized by how objects were used and the techniques craftspeople employed to make them. You can see domestic and religious silver pieces created by Belgian artisans and notice the different styles that emerged over time.
Practical
The collection is now displayed in the Umicore Zilverpaviljoen in Antwerp and offers free admission to visitors. The pavilion is open from Tuesday through Sunday and can be easily reached by public transport.
