Theepottenmuseum: animals, vehicles and stories with a spout

Thousands of teapots take the shape of animals, buildings, fairy-tale figures, people and vehicles in a themed collecting world.

Plan your visit ↗

Form follows imagination

Compare an animal-shaped pot with a building-shaped pot and find where the lid, handle and spout are hidden in the design without losing the pouring function.

Dutch recognition

A DAF bus, Holle Bolle Gijs and Mosa monkeys are mentioned. Note the manufacturer, dating and edition size before labelling an object as typically Dutch.

Combination with the collectors' museum

A combination ticket also includes Suzie’s museum and the Follybos. These are separate parts; plan your time and ask which outdoor route is accessible in the current season.

Before you go

Regular access only on Thursday and Friday, April to October. One guide reports a conflicting temporary closure; call ahead.
