Easter, Sinterklaas, Christmas and House-of-Orange curiosities stand alongside toys from 1900–1960 in a former shop building.

Plan your visit ↗

Celebrations through the year

Display cases with nativity scenes, angels, baubles and other figures show how rituals take material form. Compare dating and production without presenting traditions as unchanging.

Orange corner

Commemorative objects relating to the royal house use portrait, colour and date. Look at how an official image is adapted onto everyday objects.

Toys 1900–1960

Old toys show material and technique changing. Compare a handmade or mechanical piece with a later mass-produced item and note signs of use.

Before you go

Guided tours by appointment only, maximum ten people and about an hour. No toilet, not wheelchair accessible, and cash payment only.
