Stedelijk Museum Zutphen, Municipal museum in Zutphen, Netherlands
The Stedelijk Museum Zutphen is housed in a historic building complex and displays objects from the city's past and surrounding region. Visitors explore artwork, textiles, silver items, and archaeological finds arranged across several exhibition rooms.
The museum was founded in 1903 and has been collecting objects from the city's history since then. It relocated to its present building in 2017, which allowed for better presentation of its collections.
The museum tells the story of how Zutphen developed and how people lived here over time. The displays show handcrafted skills, religious traditions, and everyday objects that shaped daily life in the city.
The museum is easy to reach from the old town and has information signs in different languages. Visitors should allow enough time to look through all the exhibition areas thoroughly.
The museum holds a mechanical clock from 1300, one of the oldest timekeeping devices in the Netherlands. This rare object shows how advanced technology was at that time.
