10 Museums in Nijmegen That You Shouldn't Miss
At over 2000 years old, Nijmegen has had a pretty full life. Its transition from Roman military camp to modern municipality has not been without growing pains, but today Nijmegen is thriving, largely because of its lively student population and its status as a hub for political activism. Try to visit during the internationally popular Nijmeegse Vierdaagse four-day walking festival and the epic Zomerfeesten summer party. They happen at the same time, because why not?

6. muZIEum
Overall Ratings

What is it like to be blind or partially sighted? You can read about it or someone can tell you about it from their own experience, but during a visit to muZIEum (muSEEum) you will experience it yourself. Enter a world in which your other senses - hearing, smell, touch and taste - suddenly play a far more important role than you are used to.

Me and my sister grew up in Nijmegen, but had nog done the outside experience from the Muzieum yet. We do recommend it. They have very nice guides who have really bad sight who come with you and they tell you their story. You can ask all your questions. Also their is a seeing guide who comes as well. They show you around and with the VR glasses on you can experience different eye illnesses and how it is to live and walk with such an illness. You have your stick to feel the ground. An interesting experience everyone should do. It is a real eye opener because you get to know things you otherwise would never think about. Why certain decisions are made etc.

Reviewed By BrissieJim - Brisbane, Australia
A very kind staff member gave us a personal tour and explanation of the lower floors which are actually an excavation of the old Roman wall, and as you proceed higher you can see how subsequent generations built upon the foundations. There is an excellent floor devoted to fauna, and the skull of a Mammoth takes pride of place. There is also an interaction floor, where we had our first experience of Virtual Reality, as the platform we appeared to be sitting on (an open helicopter perhaps) zoomed over the sea and river and then plunged under water so that we could see the fish-life swimming by. There is a restaurant and an observation deck to look out on the busy river. Well worth a visit.
