Plan your visit ↗

A building as a way in

The peat barn gives the museum a concrete location on the Westfriesedijk. See how the display connects the building with the local subjects and what explanation is given of the room’s function.

Reading and watching

Cards and videos let you follow information in different ways. Take time over a subject that appeals to you, without mistaking the short visit time for an obligatory quick round.

An appointment outside the weekend

Additional times and a reading café by appointment are mentioned for groups. That is a separate offer alongside the open weekend hours and requires prior arrangement.

Before you go

Check the end of the season and the weekend hours. Not all floors are wheelchair accessible; discuss in advance which parts are reached by stairs.
