Meuse stories from the south

What is your story about the Meuse? Almost every Limburger has a connection with this river. Perhaps you visit its banks for inspiration or solace. Or maybe you experienced fearful moments during the floods. Ons Limburgs Museum brings together these Meuse stories with objects from the museum collection.

My Meuse.
Your story.
Our Limburg Museum.
