The Stadsgalerij Heerlen is the municipal museum for modern and contemporary art. Since the 1950s, the City of Heerlen has been building up a collection of modern Dutch painting. The first additions to the collection included works by CoBrA artists. Early on, paintings by Amsterdam-based Limburg artists were acquired, including Ger Lataster, Lei Molin and Jef Diederen. The collection has been enlarged with works by Ben Akkerman, Marlene Dumas, Rob van Koningsbruggen, Han Schuil, JCJ Vanderheyden, Toon Verhoef, Aad de Haas and many others. The museum also aims to acquire the works of talented young artists. Natasja Kensmil, Carla Klein, Charlotte Schleiffert, Koen Vermeule and Robert Zandvliet are just some examples.

The idea of the museum is to let you experience Roman history. The excavation of the Roman bathhouse that takes 50 x 50 metres is at the centre of the museum. In a sound and light show you 'walk' through the bathhouse with Lucius Ferenius, the potter, who takes the visitor along to his place of residence Coriovallum: a centre of industry and commerce on the main road from Boulogne-sur-Mer to Cologne. Other subjects are the army, a completely fitted out kitchen, an extensive manor house, the alphabet, the making of pottery etc. Moreover you are introduced to some residents of Coriovallum amongst whom a veteran, the councillor, the eye doctor and the lady of Simpelveld.
