Streekmuseum Krimpenerwaard: a farmhouse full of regional life

Streekmuseum Krimpenerwaard in Krimpen aan den IJssel combines farmhouse rooms with a village display, a schoolroom and a little shop. The garden adds an outdoor part to the visit.

Plan your visit ↗

Living in a farmhouse

See how the living quarters are laid out and which objects belong to everyday use. A raised room (opkamer) or cellar prompts different questions from a kitchen. The explanations help you link the rooms to the history of the region.

A village in the attic

The presentation on village centres and the school and shop sections broaden the story beyond a single household. Compare which objects are shown for learning, shopping or working. An individual guided tour can provide extra background.

Not all rooms accessible

There is a ramp, a stairlift and an accessible toilet, but the opkamer and cellar are still not accessible to everyone. For navigation, use the visitor address on the Boezemdreef and arrange group visits in advance.

Before you go

Use Boezemdreef 1 and, if you have limited mobility, ask about the accessible route.
