Living on a modest scale
Look at the kitchen, sleeping area and furniture as a whole, and ask which pieces originally come from Tuindorp and which were collected to fit.
Building plan and daily life
The house makes the ideals of the garden village and social housing tangible. Compare the light, the relationship with the garden and the room sizes with photos of former residents.
Shipyard in the display case
NDSM anniversary items and village films link the residential district with work at the shipyard. Read where the objects come from and distinguish company memories from household furnishings.
Before you go
Two visiting arrangements are mentioned: on request and every second Sunday 11:00–16:30. Confirm in advance by e-mail which opening applies to your date.
