The John Selbach Museum is located in the former ursuline cloister on Boomgaardstraat in the centre of Maaseik
The JohnSelbachMuseum is located in the Boomgaardstraat 18-20 in Maaseik, the former Ursuline convent. The museum consists of four floors! The visitor makes a cultural journey through time on his or her way through the museum. On the ground floor, you will find the "former" refectory and the so-called "period rooms", formerly the "offices" of the Ursuline Sisters, now completely furnished by John Selbach. On the first and second floors, you can see the collection of paintings of the John Selbach Foundation s.o.n. (foundation of public utility). On the first floor, the "older" art is on display. These are mainly paintings from the 17th century. On the second floor, you will find mainly 19th century paintings, so-called "Romanticism".
John's maxim has always been: "It must be beautiful, no unpleasant subjects, there is enough unpleasantness in the world already!
On the third floor, you can see the doll museum, which was in Maastricht for 10 years.
Apart from the antique dolls, you will also find furniture, teddy bears, trains, etc... and other trivia and frills.
