C1000 Museum: groceries as memories

In Hellendoorn, the C1000 Museum preserves shop fittings, packaging and other objects relating to the supermarket chain. Here a familiar product can become the way into the story of a whole shop.

A shop without a shopping list

The furnishings refer to a C1000 shop. Look at how the display brings products and advertising together. Which colours, words or shapes do you recognise before the name on a pack? That turns even an ordinary item of shopping into something worth looking at.

Packaging that lasts

Packaging is usually meant for short-term use. In a museum it takes on a different role: you can pay attention to design, information and the way a product was presented. Compare two objects without deciding straight away which is older.

A visit according to the calendar

Opening depends on appointments and separately announced Sundays. So do not assume a fixed weekly schedule. Also let them know how many of you are coming, and ask whether any explanation will be available during your visit.

Before you go

September 2026 is by appointment only; in October the museum is not open on every Sunday.
