Things to do in Nijmegen, Gelderland Province: The Best Museums
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?

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.
