Collection

27.000 objects, paintings, drawings and prints

After over 140 years of collecting, Museum Flehite now owns tens of thousands of objects. In addition to artworks of national and international significance, the collection also includes simple and emotionally significant artefacts that are greatly valued in the region. Must-see objects such as the 'prehistoric bronze-age urns, 17th-century 'View of Amersfoort' by Matthias Withoos, portrait of Leendert Nicasiusz by Jacob van Campen, the keys to the city made for emperor Napoleon, a beer keg from 1870 and a freedom dress from 1945 tell the story of Amersfoort through the centuries. These prized objects are featured on the website and regularly exhibited in the museum.
