Welcome to the website of the museum de Schat van Simpelveld

In Limburg’s beautiful landscape, between the historic cities of Maastricht and Aachen, you will find the Museum de Schat van Simpelveld. This museum, located in a monumental convent, houses a large art collection. The museum’s collection of highly refined embroidery from the 19th and 20th centuries known as needle painting, ranks among the absolute best. In addition, the museum shows a splendid collection of paintings, golden chalices, wax figures and medieval sculptures. You will be given a glimpse of conventual life in the early 20th century.

Closed until 20 January 2021

The museum will be closed until at least 20 January 2021 due to the latest corona measures. Unfortunately, this means it’s no longer possible to visit the temporary Christmas exhibition. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you again after 20 January! See you soon and stay safe.
