Museum Kruithuis

The Eighty Years’ War

The Kruithuis Museum immerses you in the rich history of Den Bosch and explores the various perspectives on the Eighty Years’ War and the siege of 1629, so that you can form your own opinion. After all, was Den Bosch liberated or occupied at that time?

Fascinating

The Kruithuis is not a grand national museum, but a picturesque and fascinating museum in the centre of Den Bosch where you can really delve deep into the subject. You’ll also find yourself in a stunning historic building, which is truly one of a kind! Did you know that no other museum in Den Bosch – or indeed in the Netherlands – is housed in a powder magazine dating from the Eighty Years’ War? This is yet another way in which the Kruithuis Museum stands out from other museums in Den Bosch and across the Netherlands.

Magnificent

So don’t just let yourself be swept away by all the impressive stories in the exhibition – let yourself be surprised by the magnificent building and the story behind it too!
