’t Hooivak: a former agricultural museum on Terschelling

Landbouwmuseum ’t Hooivak in Hoorn is no longer open to the public. Older museum guides describe a collection of agricultural implements in a farmhouse here; no new location for visitors is known.

What was on display

Earlier descriptions mention a farmhouse with agricultural implements and an original layout. The objects mentioned include a seed fiddle, dung carts and a Terschelling farm wagon. What was on offer thus centred on work on the land and the tools that went with it.

A name you may still come across

The name Het Hooivak is also used for the children’s farm. Its own website reports that it has come to an end; older descriptions of the museum collection are therefore no confirmation that it is still accessible.

The collection after closure

It is not known whether the objects can be visited at another location. An old photograph, address listing or museum listing does not settle this in itself. For any new visit, go by an explicit, current announcement.

Before you go

Not open to the public. No new location for visiting the collection is known.
