Museum De Ronde Venen: peat heritage awaiting renewal

Museum De Ronde Venen in Vinkeveen has no regular public opening. The foundation is working on a renewal centred on the peat heritage and the preserved peat-cutting machine.

A machine at the centre

The Op Hoop van Zegen No. 2 is an important part of the collection. The machine is connected with peat extraction in Vinkeveen. On announced open days there may be a focus on how it works; this is not offered every day.

A museum in transition

There are plans to refurbish the building and develop a small-scale Veenmuseum. Plans are not yet an open museum. What will eventually be on view, and when, requires a new, concrete announcement from the foundation.

Do not use old hours

Visitor guides may still show afternoon hours from an earlier period. These do not match the current situation. For a possible open day, follow the latest news and have access to the site and the machine confirmed.

Before you go

There is no regular museum opening and no confirmed reopening date.
