The ethnographic collection
If you take part in the ethnographic tour, you step into a time capsule, as it were. You take a journey through time to foreign countries, from where missionaries sent countless objects to Steyl. Here we look at these special objects with the accompanying stories.
The natural history collection
The missionaries outside the Netherlands sent animals to Steyl for purposes, of science and education, so the collection expanded considerably. Here we look at the huge variety of animal species in the showcases.
This guided tour will be held in the church and gardens; Maximum 20 people per tour guide.
