You're standing at the Discovery Museum in Kerkrade, right next to Kerkrade Centrum station. You might know it by an older name. When it opened in 1998 it was called Industrion, and from 2009 to 2021 it was Continium. It's one of the three provincial museums of Limburg, alongside the Limburgs Museum in Venlo and the Bonnefanten in Maastricht.
