Schimmelpenninck Museum: packaging as industrial memory

The Schimmelpenninck Museum in Dodewaard collects material relating to the cigar brand and the former Wageningen factory. Current visiting options and the exact house number must be confirmed in advance.

Plan your visit ↗

Looking at the packaging

Packaging and cigar bands form an important part of the collection. Compare the lettering, colours and images: they show how a product presented itself. These are small objects for which looking closely yields more than walking quickly past a display case.

A company behind the brand

Corporate gifts and documentation broaden the picture of the factory. They offer openings to ask about the people and work behind a well-known brand. Which parts are currently on display has not been confirmed as current.

No reliable walk-in schedule

Visitor guides contradict each other: one mentions an appointment, the other generous daily hours. A current primary confirmation is lacking. So make telephone contact first and have both the possibility of a visit and the address established.

Before you go

Visiting status unknown. Have the appointment, address and house number confirmed; listings mention both number 4 and 6.
