A counter at the centre
A shop takes shape through the relationship between counter, goods and customer. See how those elements are presented here. The historic counter is a starting point for asking how everyday selling worked.
Objects with a company story
The collection is linked to the history of Albert Heijn. Read or hear what is known about the origin of an object. This is a museum presentation of a shop setting, not the original first shop on this site.
Planning a short stop
Admission is free and the visit is run by volunteers. The current heritage schedule gives Tuesday to Sunday, while other Schans listings give longer hours. Check directly, especially for an early arrival or a Monday.
Before you go
Check the museum shop’s hours; the general Schans opening is no guarantee for this venue.
