Museum het Domein

Museum het Domein is a relative young museum for contemporary art and urban history and archaeology. A museum that takes a lively, creative, and idiosyncratic approach to presenting the history of its region and its city, and current developments in international contemporary art. The Contemporary Art Department on the ground floor centres on the international avant-garde, with a distinct emphasis on photography, video and cross-over art. Young artists and their older artistic forbears are the department’s principal focus. The Urban History & Archaeology Department on the top floor takes a cultural anthropological approach to the region’s past and present. It also houses the museum’s permanent collection of archaeological and historical artefacts, together with a specially designed ‘multi-media’ street for younger visitors. Museum Het Domein is located in a former nineteenth-century municipal school in the historic centre of Sittard.

Museum het Domijn merged with 4 other cultural centre’s in Sittard and is continuing is activities under the name De Domijnen
