Honig Breethuis: a Zaan home built around a paper manufacturer

The Honig Breethuis in Zaandijk presents a reconstructed interior centred on the household of paper manufacturer Jacob Breet. Hosts guide visitors through the house.

Plan your visit ↗

An interior as a whole

Look not only at individual pieces of furniture, but also at their place in a room. A guided tour helps to connect the furnishings with their use and the residents. Its reconstructed character also calls for attention to what is being explained.

Another side of industry

The paper manufacturer forms a link with Zaan business life, but the house puts the emphasis on living. That gives a different view from machines in a factory display. Ask how those two sides come together in the museum’s story.

A guided afternoon

Regular access is on Friday, Saturday and Sunday within a short afternoon window. Groups can make an appointment outside those hours. Concerts and lectures follow a separate calendar; an event is not the same as an ordinary guided tour.

Before you go

Check the afternoon schedule and the public holidays; older listings give longer hours than the current museum information.
