Mission and vision
Mission
The Muiderslot is the oldest and best preserved castle in the Netherlands. It is a magical place on the water in the middle of greenery where visitors can discover, enjoy and experience. We offer a unique combination of history, nature and activity.
Vision
Muiderslot is the toughest Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands. In our own way, with an open mind and from different perspectives, we connect a broad and diverse public with the castle, collection and natural surroundings. We are open to (unexpected) encounters, collaborations and perspectives and create space for experimentation and innovation.
Core values
Our starting point are four core values: tough, strong-minded, open and doing. These values form the DNA of everything we do. We sail our own course, together with partners from outside the castle walls who embrace our core values. With them we like to work together sustainably.
Cultural codes
The Muiderslot follows and subscribes to the following cultural codes:
Special projects
We strive for accessibility, depth, sustainability and social impact. We do this with special projects focused on the relationship between people and nature and accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
