Oh kom er eens kijken: a Sinterklaas collection at home

In the back garden of Arie and Tineke Kornegoor stands a private museum room full of figures, records, books, crockery and moulds themed around Sinterklaas.

Plan your visit ↗

From one mug to a collection

The collection began with finds at flea markets and grew into its own museum space. See how everyday objects are arranged alongside decorative pieces and printed material.

Moulds, records and books

Chocolate moulds tell a different story about the festival than LPs or children’s books. Compare production, imagery and story, and note the period in which each object was made.

Visiting the collectors

There is no regular museum schedule or own website. The owners receive visitors when they are home and after phoning ahead; a listing on Facebook or a tourism site is no guarantee of access.

Before you go

Always call ahead: this private museum on the Borculoseweg is only accessible by appointment or when the owners are home.
