Museum Veere is established in two beautiful historic buildings: The Scottish Houses along de quay and the monumental City Hall on the Market. Together they bring the stirring history of this small city of Veere to live. The unique 16th century statues that once adorned the façade of the City Hall are part of our collection and on display in our ‘Statue hall’. The famous gilded goblet of Maximilian shines in the old council chamber. Our ‘Scottish attic’ tells the story of the long lasting trade relation between Scotland and the city of Veere. Veere was once the centre of the profitable wool trade between Scotland and the Low Countries. After considerable effort the town won staple-rights on Scottish wool in 1541, meaning that the goods had to be made available for purchase there for a set time before being allowed to go on sale elsewhere. This important and profitable trade right encouraged Scottish merchants to establish themselves in Veere permanently.

The Middelburg Town Hall is the port's pride and joy. Built at the end of the 17th century, it is a stunning example of a building from the Dutch Golden Age. It now functions as a museum and is used for Weddings, Anniversaries etc. Book early, I understand it is in high demand.

In de Grote Kerk komt erfgoed op een betoverende manier tot leven. Via 3D soundscapes, wervelende projecties en caleidoscopische animaties. Stap zelf de geschiedenis in en schrijf mee aan nieuwe verhalen. De Grote Kerk Veere is een stenen reus in een piepklein stadje. Met ramen van baksteen. En grafzerken als vensterbanken. De kerk zit vol met raadsels en geheimen. Waarom is het gebouw nooit afgemaakt? Wat is er hier allemaal gebeurd? Stap zelf in de geschiedenis. En ontdek het verhaal van Mary, de verdwenen Schotse prinses. Onderzoek de legende van de Veerse mummiekat. Luister mee met de koortsdromen van een gewonde Franse soldaat. Laat een eigen herinnering achter aan de schrijftafel van Nescio. En duik diep in de duizelingwekkende penseelstreken van beroemde schilders. Word ook verliefd op Veere, in de Grote Kerk.
