Museum Weesp: porcelain, cocoa and the town

Museum Weesp, in the town hall, tells the story of products and businesses connected with the town. Porcelain, cocoa and bicycles give the story three very different ways in.

Plan your visit ↗

Looking closely at porcelain

Weesp porcelain forms an important part of the collection. Note the shape, painting and finish, and read what background is given for a piece. A small detail can be a good reason to linger over one object.

Advertising and industry

Material relating to Van Houten and Magneet broadens the visit to include production and advertising. Compare how a product is shown with how it is promoted. The audio tour can help you connect the different themes with the town.

The calendar matters

The museum has many individual days with adjusted hours or closures. It may also close during heat warnings. So check the current calendar shortly before you set off and bear in mind that the ticket desk closes before the end of the afternoon.

Before you go

Check special closures and the last admission at the ticket desk; the regular weekly schedule is not always enough.
