The museum stands on a spot where the city walls and fortifications of the City of Venlo were located over centuries. After the fortifications were demolished in 1870, the site was used as a marshalling yard for private railway companies. The oldest remaining filling station can also be found on the south side of the museum. This Esso filling station was built in 1933. The history of the site was an important source of inspiration for the architect Jeanne Dekkers in the creation of her design for the museum.

The present building of the Limburgs Museum was built in 2000. The entrance area was renovated in 2021 in order to make the museum even more accessible.
