Bolletje Bakkerijmuseum: machines above the shop

On the first floor of the Bolletjewinkel is a compact collection of baking machines, moulds, tins and advertising from the company’s history.

Plan your visit ↗

From dough trough to baking tin

Old machines, sieves and moulds make different steps visible. Choose one product—bread, rusks or cake—and find which tools belong to mixing, shaping and baking.

Packaging and advertising

Rusk tins, photos and newspaper cuttings show how the product became recognisable once it left the bakery. Compare an old package with today’s shop display without reading marketing claims as historical fact.

The baker’s bicycle

The bicycle shifts the story from production to delivery. Look at the carrier, storage and sturdiness, and ask how many products could be carried safely through the town.

Before you go

The museum is free for shop visitors and takes about twenty people at a time. Booking is recommended for a guide, a Saturday visit or holiday periods.
