Tiles and silver

Harlingen tiles and pottery and silverware are among the parts of the collection mentioned. With everyday objects like these, look at both decoration and shape. The explanations help you understand the link with the town; that link is not always visible in the object itself.

A maritime town in pictures

The collection description also mentions maritime objects, paintings, photographs and documents. This gives you different ways of approaching the same local subject. An image can convey an atmosphere or a scene, while a document records other information.

A room for literature

The Vestdijkkamer (Vestdijk Room) is described as a separate literary section. Ask about its current arrangement if you are coming for the writer. The museum also states that part of the collection can be searched online, which can help with targeted preparation.

Before you go

Closed on Mondays. Check the current programme and ask in advance about a specific item in the collection if it is the reason for your visit.
