A greenhouse as a workplace
A greenhouse is more than a glass building. See how the museum explains the relationship between crop, layout and labour. Ask which tasks were involved in the cultivation shown and how the space was used for them.
A region in development
The exhibitions place horticulture within the history of the Westland. The garden adds a seasonal perspective: not everything looks the same all year round. So take time for the explanations outside too.
Accessible, with one exception
The museum has facilities for wheelchairs and rollators and a lift. The information and play attic are an exception to the accessibility. In July and August it opens earlier on weekdays; the rest of the year, visits begin in the afternoon.
Before you go
Check seasonal hours and public holidays, and book a loan wheelchair in advance.
