The Markiezenhof in Bergen op Zoom is remapping its entire collection of 17,000 objects because its inventory is not fully accurate. Director Koen Brakenhoff wants to establish exactly what the museum holds and whether anything is missing.

Brakenhoff, the museum’s new director, also has ambitious plans for the national monument. He considers the Markiezenhof one of the most beautiful city palaces in Western Europe and says its significance should be shared more widely rather than kept to itself.
