Purmerend from market town to Art Nouveau

The former town hall shows urban development, architecture and the largest collection of Purmerend pottery from its short heyday, 1895–1907.

Pottery with a factory signature

Compare work by Brantjes, Haga, Huisenga and Vet in terms of shape, glaze and maker’s mark. Pay attention to place of production and dating.

A market between polders

Maps and objects explain Purmerend’s position between Beemster, Purmer and Wormer. Look for how fishing and the market function succeeded each other.

Designers of the town

Early work by J.J.P. Oud, Mart Stam and Jac. Jongert links local history with architecture and graphic design.
