Only by prior appointment: Wim Reindersma, +31-(0)594-50 3998

The museum houses a variety of interesting collections: Antique dolls and toys, weights out of the Napoleon era, the ''Berlage'' chairs, and also an unique collection of vintage outboard motors that were produced before WW II.
An unique aspect of the small country-side museum lays in the fact that it takes special effort in telling the story of a museum object, what is often more interesting than its appereance itself.
