Jan Anderson builds a little street in an old farmhouse

In the cowshed of a Vlaardingen farmhouse, small shops and crafts stand alongside temporary exhibitions drawn from a collection of around 150 sub-collections.

Plan your visit ↗

A street as a time capsule

View shopfronts, tools and stock as composed scenes. Ask which objects come from Vlaardingen and which were collected more widely.

Many collections, one choice

Books, prints, toys, archaeology and design cannot all be on show at once. Check which part is on permanent display and which exhibition is currently running.

The farmhouse remains visible

Notice the layout of the cowshed, the beams and the passageways behind the display. Distinguish between the building’s history and the museum street that was fitted out later.

Before you go

Open every Saturday 14.00–16.00 and on the first Sunday of the month 14.00–16.00; also by appointment. Check the current exhibition, public holidays, admission and accessibility in advance, as these are not clearly stated on the homepage.
