Engines and grandmother’s day under one roof

In Nieuwe Niedorp, industrial engines stand alongside furnished domestic settings, with the Bolnes HS 400 as the announced running machine.

Plan your visit ↗

The Bolnes gets moving

The large engine runs on Sunday and on the last Saturday at 13.30. Look at the cylinders and drive beforehand, and during the start follow the sound, lubrication and movement.

Interior as a counterpoint

Household objects and furniture show everyday life on a different scale. Compare manual work in the home with mechanical power in the engine hall.

Season and accessibility

The museum is only open regularly April–September. A wheelchair lift and stairlift help along the route, but ask in advance which machine areas can be reached safely.

Before you go

Season 1 April–30 September, Tuesday–Saturday 13.00–17.00 and Sunday 11.00–16.00; in winter groups only, by appointment.
