From October, you can dive into stories that will teach you more about Burgundian traditions (some real, some invented), Limburg gastronomy, and the tradition of militia.

Burgundians in the museum
In the exhibition ‘Burgundians in Limburg’, which was on display at the Limburgs Museum from 4 October 2025 to 1 February 1 2026, visitors travelled back to the late Middle Ages. They were immersed in characteristic music, beautiful objects, and intriguing stories featuring three generations of Burgundians: the dukes Philip the Good, Charles the Bold, and Mary the Rich.
