Carving a ROCOCO - ornament in oak
For the Museum aan het Vrijthof
in Maastricht (Netherlands)
The museum is a historical house on the famous Vrijthof square with something for both tourists and the residents of Maastricht. The museum presents the history of those who lived in the city of Maastricht in the form of art works and in beautifully designed everyday objects from furniture to horsemen's guns, from silver candelabras to watches. The interior of the room makes way a few times each year for exhibitions.
However, the focus always lies on the five centuries of the entire city of Maastricht’s cultural identity. It is a history we display to be discovered, explained and experienced. That is the reason the Museum aan het Vrijthof, which up until recently was also known as the Museum of the Spanish Government, exists.
Drink in the spirit of Maastricht. Feel the history. Admire
arts and crafts from the past. Lose yourself in the sensation of
becoming part of life in the 18th century. You will be given the
opportunity to gain knowledge, to see where the connections lie, and to
simply enjoy so many of the beautiful things produced by Maastricht’s
artists and craftsmen in the past.
