Museum Klok & Peel - Asten

At Museum Klok & Peel you can admire two collections. The collection of chiming bells and carillons is of international significance. Learn more about the craft of bell casting and bell tuning. In addition, the museum has the world's most extensive library and documentation in the field of bells! There are various bells of Dutch origin on display, as well as bells and chimes from other cultures, such as the Chinese.

The Peel collection includes objects from the natural and cultural history of De Peel, the nature reserve on the border of Brabant and Limburg. The palaeontological collection, among others, provides a picture of what used to live in this area, with an impressive mammoth skeleton as the showpiece. Birds, mammals, various plant species and fungi are also on display.

The ToerismePoort, in front of and inside the museum, is a great place to start a cycling or walking tour. Outside there are information boards, and inside you will find information about the Peel and places of interest.
