Musea

There are a number of museums to visit across Twente. We’ve picked out a few:

Twente Technical Museum “HEIM”
The museum offers a fascinating insight into Twente’s industry – past, present and future. It brings together a century and a half of industrial development in a dynamic way, from steam engines to space travel. Be amazed by the technical ingenuity of the past and explore sustainable and smart alternatives in the present. In our museum, you can experience, discover and get hands-on.

The Bussemaker House
When you visit the Bussemaker House Museum, you step inside the only surviving and open-to-the-public 18th-century manufacturer’s house in the Netherlands. In the listed village of ‘Oud Borne’, you’ll be given a contemporary insight into the history of linen production in Borne.

Salt Museum
The Salt Museum is situated in the centre of Delden, where salt was discovered in the ground in the gardens of Twickel Castle in 1886. The museum tells the complete story of salt in all its facets. It covers not only the history of Twickel, Boekelo and Hengelo, but also periods much further back in time and places all over the world. Salt is a story of world history!

Ootmarsum Open-Air Museum
Right in the heart of the charming centre of the old town of Ootmarsum lies a surprising
open-air museum. A beautiful park-like site with trees and water features, criss-crossed by a lovely stream. This was once the site of the gardens of the Havezathe; the Hoge Huys in Ootmarsum. In the Middle Ages, it was a wealthy commandery of the German Order of Knights. In later times, it served as the main residence of the Imperial Counts of Heiden Hompesch of Ootmarsum, the bailiffs of Twente.
