Oude Kinderwagens: design and everyday use

Museum Oude Kinderwagens in Vlissingen is described as a collection of historic prams. The subject offers a concrete way to look at design, handling and how young children were transported.

Looking at a pram

Notice the relationship between wheels, body and handle. Such parts determine how a pram is used; any explanation available can clarify the differences between examples.

Familiar and different

A familiar shape may differ in its details from what you expect. Look at materials and finish without deciding an age or history of use on appearance alone.

Confirm your visit first

The Friday and Saturday afternoons listed come from a museum guide. Those listings do not establish current access to the collection on Sint Jacobsstraat.

Before you go

Have the opening times, address and accessibility confirmed directly. Hours from secondary guides and a mention of visits by appointment are no guarantee that the museum is currently open.
