A clock inside and out
The dial is only one side of a timepiece. Also note what the explanation says about the mechanism. By looking at appearance and workings side by side, a clock becomes more than a decorated object that tells the time.
A place in the room
The Zaankamer and the Groene Salon give the visit a spatial focus. See how a clock relates to the rest of the furnishings. The collection includes various types, among them the Zaan saw clock (Zaanse zaagklok), which prompts you to ask about its unusual workings.
Access and season
The ground floor can be reached via a mobile ramp, but large wheelchairs may encounter restrictions. In the low season the museum opens later and closes earlier. Discuss it in advance if you need help or space to get in.
Before you go
Check the seasonal schedule and discuss wheelchair access in advance, especially with a larger mobility aid.
