Valkhof Museum
A general museum covering two thousand years of Nijmegen's history. Its Roman archaeology collection is one of the most important in the Netherlands, and it also presents historic and contemporary art.
The Valkhof Museum is housed in a modern building beside Valkhof Park. It was formed by merging the former city museum with the archaeology museum. Its main focus is Roman Nijmegen, known as Noviomagus, with displays of soldiers' helmets, bronzework, glassware and burial objects. It also presents works related to the Limburg Brothers from the Middle Ages, as well as modern and contemporary art exhibitions. It can be combined with a visit to the park and the Chapel of St. Nicholas, and it is about a 15-minute walk from the railway station.
