In addition to its regular permanent exhibition, the Raeren Pottery Museum currently displays 80 high-quality, life-size reproductions of paintings by famous Dutch painters from the 'Golden Age'. These reproductions come from the world's leading museums. The highlight: on each of them you can see the 'Raeren pots' in use, as our ancestors used them for eating, drinking and partying, instead of our current Tupperware. Each painting is combined with original historical Raeren objects from archaeological excavations.
This unique and impressive exhibition is also open daily from 10 am to 5 pm during the Christmas holidays, with the museum only closed on Christmas Day and 1 and 2 January. On Christmas Eve and 31/12 it is open from 10 am to 2 pm. As usual, admission costs 3 euros per person, 2 euros for concessions, and children and residents of the greater Raeren area have free admission.
If you don't have a Christmas present yet, you can buy the exhibition catalogue from the Pottery Museum: with more than 530 pages, it presents and explains more than 600 such paintings by more than 160 painters and is thus not only an important work of regional history, but also a magnificent art book, ideal as a gift. It is available for 45 euros from the Raeren Pottery Museum.
