Zaans Museum: industry and daily life together

The Zaans Museum at the Zaanse Schans links Zaan industry with domestic life and heritage. The Verkade Experience offers a concrete way into the story of production.

Machines behind biscuits and chocolate

The Verkade display shows machines associated with well-known products. See which production steps are explained and how the machines fit in. A familiar product thus becomes a reason to explore the work behind it.

A broader regional history

The museum is not limited to a single company. Its attention to domestic life and the cultural history of the Zaan region broadens the story. Give those sections a moment of their own, so that the region is not seen merely as a collection of factories.

Single ticket or combination

Separate tickets for the museum and combinations with other Schans venues are available. Check what is actually included and whether the workshops you want to see are open. The building is wheelchair accessible and a wheelchair can be reserved; payment is by debit card or credit card.

Before you go
