Edelambachtshuys shows silver in a former synagogue

A private gallery, silversmith’s workshop and design collection bring together three centuries of Schoonhoven silver in Rikkoert’s Edelambachtshuys.

Plan your visit ↗

Silver through three centuries

Compare hallmark, form and use in two objects. Ask which pieces belong to the private collection and which are shown as items for sale or design objects.

A smith at work

In the workshop, the handwork becomes visible. Only follow sawing, shaping, soldering and finishing where a member of staff actually demonstrates those steps.

The building has its own history

The former synagogue gives the gallery a special space. Distinguish between explanations about the building and the silver presentation of the current operator.

Before you go

According to the operator Rikkoert, open Tuesday–Friday 10.00–17.30 and Saturday 10.00–17.00; closed on Monday and Sunday. The Edelambachtshuys is closed on Friday evening. The museum’s own domain returned an error page, so check current gallery access directly with Rikkoert.
