Museumwoning Tuindorp Oostzaan brings 1922 up close

A house by Boeijinga and Mulder has been furnished with interiors from 1920–1940 and uses films and an NDSM display case to tell the neighbourhood’s story.

Plan your visit ↗

Living on a modest scale

Look at the kitchen, sleeping area and furniture as a whole, and ask which pieces originally come from Tuindorp and which were collected to fit.

Building plan and daily life

The house makes the ideals of the garden village and social housing tangible. Compare the light, the relationship with the garden and the room sizes with photos of former residents.

Shipyard in the display case

NDSM anniversary items and village films link the residential district with work at the shipyard. Read where the objects come from and distinguish company memories from household furnishings.

Before you go

Two visiting arrangements are mentioned: on request and every second Sunday 11:00–16:30. Confirm in advance by e-mail which opening applies to your date.
