Form follows use
Painted and carved clogs stand alongside examples with other functions. See how shape and material differ and read what each type was intended for. The international examples broaden the subject beyond a single Dutch model.
Following the making
A demonstration shows a different side from the collection. Ask when the next one starts and watch the steps by which a piece of wood takes shape. Afterwards, compare a finished clog with what you saw during the making.
A shop and a museum
Admission is listed as free and there is a souvenir shop. The hours given differ between pages, especially for early opening and in winter. Check the current daily information if you want to come outside the busy middle of the day.
Before you go
Check the exact daily and public-holiday hours; early opening times are not listed the same everywhere.
