The House of Petrol preserves the design language of the filling station

This private Dordrecht collection revolves around petroliana: objects associated with petrol pumps, brands and the visual culture of the filling station.

Plan your visit ↗

The pump as a design object

Look at the shape, meter, hose and controls before you look at the brand. Ask which part was functional and which part served as advertising.

Logos along the road

When making your appointment, ask whether there are signs, packaging or other brand items to see. If such pieces are present, you can compare typography and materials without filling in an unconfirmed product history.

A private collection

When making your appointment, ask which groups of objects can be seen and whether demonstrations take place during open days.

Before you go

There is no fixed weekly schedule. Visits are by appointment only or during announced open days. Get in touch in advance via the website, confirm the date, time, access and which parts of the collection are available, and do not travel to the Van Neurenburgpad without confirmation.
