Weighing and paying
Scales and cash registers show which tools were part of shop work. Take time over the differences in operation and design. Such everyday objects give a concrete starting point for conversations about how people did their shopping.
The shop and the neighbourhood
Alongside an old sweet shop there are scale models of the Hoofdstraat and the Doeskwartier. These give the shop history a local setting. Panels about SPAR add the story of the retail organisation to the personal collection.
