Grootmoederstijd: a small collection at the farm

Museum Grootmoederstijd at Farmlogies on the edge of Alphen aan den Rijn collects household objects. Visits are listed as seasonal and by appointment; current availability needs to be confirmed.

Plan your visit ↗

Looking at everyday things

Household objects can seem so familiar that you quickly walk past them. Ask how something was used, how much handwork it required and where it belonged in the home. This gives a simple collection a concrete way in.

A personal visit

No detailed, up-to-date list of objects is available. When making an appointment, say what interests you and ask which parts you can see. That way you can decide whether the small-scale offer suits your group.

Direct contact first

Guide information mentions visits from May to October by appointment, but the museum’s own current schedule is missing. That does not mean a confirmed closure, but it does mean you cannot set off without arranging it first. Have the date, time and access to the site confirmed.

Before you go

Phone for current availability and confirm the appointment; seasonal hours are only stated indirectly.
