Tinnen Figuren Museum: whole worlds on a small scale

The Nationaal Tinnen Figuren Museum in Ommen uses miniatures to depict a wide range of worlds. History, fairy tales and fantasy are named as subjects alongside craft.

Plan your visit ↗

A scene is made of details

Posture, placement and the distance between figures determine how a group comes across. So look not only at the individual miniatures, but also at how an arrangement builds a scene.

The making stays visible

The craft behind tin figures is part of the museum's subject matter. Ask for an explanation of production and finishing if it is the technique behind the small shapes that interests you specifically.

A selection from the collection

Only part of the collection is on view at any one time. For a specific theme or particular figures, it is wise to ask in advance about the current presentation.

Before you go

Check the seasonal schedule; Sunday is not automatically a visiting day. For mobility questions, discuss the route and use of the stated lift.
