Archeologisch Museum Haarlem: what the ground preserves

The Archeologisch Museum Haarlem displays archaeological finds from the city. The display is in the cellar of the Vleeshal, directly beneath the surroundings that form its subject.

Plan your visit ↗

A find gets context

An excavated object is more than a recognisable shape. Note the find spot and dating given in the explanations and the way the museum connects that information to Haarlem.

Beneath the Grote Markt

The cellar location keeps the transition between city and museum small. After your visit, take in the street surroundings again, without assuming that every find was made close to the museum.

Discussing a find of your own

A finds consultation hour is offered by appointment. This is a separate activity with its own location or arrangements; do not assume that identification is available whenever the museum is open.

Before you go

The entrance can only be reached by stairs. Check special closures during hot weather and on public holidays; the former access via Frans Hals Museum HAL is no longer available.
