Noordbrabants Museum

Getting around: Located in the center of 's-Hertogenbosch within walking distance of the Markt, housed in a former governor's residence.
Hours: Typically open Tuesday to Sunday, around 11:00-17:00, closed Mondays; special exhibitions may extend hours or require timed tickets.

The Noordbrabants Museum covers the art and history of North Brabant province from prehistory through the modern era, housed in an 18th-century former governor's palace with formal gardens. Its collection ranges from archaeological finds to old master paintings, with rotating exhibitions that have at times included work connected to Bosch given the city's association with him.

It's a solid stop for anyone wanting regional context beyond the city center's churches and squares, and the building and gardens are attractive enough to justify a visit on their own merits.
