Oudheidkamer Pernis: home life and local memory

Oudheidkamer Pernis combines regional history with a museum house on the Pastoriedijk. The furnishings reflect home life in the period 1930–1950 and offer a concrete way into everyday life.

Plan your visit ↗

Looking at a house

The living room, box bed and small kitchen bring together different everyday tasks. Notice how the space is laid out and use the explanations to understand the chosen furnishings.

A changing subject

Besides the house, there are temporary exhibitions about Pernis. These can give your visit a different emphasis; check which programme is available when you come.

Researching family history

For genealogical questions, a separate time is mentioned on the third Thursday of the month. Prepare such a visit with names and questions, so that it differs from a general look around.

Before you go

Check whether you mean the Saturday, the first Sunday or the genealogy session. Closures apply on public holidays, with an exception for King’s Day according to the visitor information.
