Palingsoundmuseum: listening to Volendam by the smokehouse

The Palingsoundmuseum at Smit Bokkum in Volendam focuses on the local music culture. The display shares a location with the fish shop, smokehouse and restaurant.

Plan your visit ↗

A village with a sound

Palingsound is the subject that holds the musical stories together. See how the exhibition links the music to Volendam. Even without knowing all the artists, you can pay attention to the explanation of the local background.

A focused musical visit

Give the exhibition its own moment in your visit to the pavilion. Ask which parts are available and how best to view the display. That way the museum is not merely a brief stop on the way to the food and drink.

Follow the shop hours

The museum follows the opening hours of the fish shop, not those of the restaurant. At weekends it closes earlier than on weekdays. Separate closures apply around Christmas and New Year; check the exact times if you want to come during that period.

Before you go

Check the museum and shop hours separately from those of the restaurant, especially at weekends.
