Plan your visit ↗

Different ways of use

Packaging for snuff, chewing tobacco and pipe tobacco points to a range of uses. Read what context the display gives them, without treating historical objects of use as a recommendation to use tobacco.

Decorative objects too

Delft Blue tiles with pipe themes add a decorative angle. They show the subject differently from tools or packaging, so that form and function can be viewed side by side.

A library as well

The specialist library described may be of interest for specific questions. Consulting it is different from an ordinary tour and must be discussed with the curator in advance.

Before you go

The museum has no fixed walk-in times. Confirm the date, access and options for a guided visit directly; discuss any accessibility questions regarding the private premises.
