Houweling Telecommuseum: making connections visible

The Houweling Telecommuseum in Rotterdam-Noord presents historic telephony and communications equipment. Guided tours are an important way into the collection and help to link technology with its use.

Plan your visit ↗

Following a connection

Look at how the devices relate to one another. Explanations can make clear which actions were needed to make communication possible, so that a complicated device does not remain just a collection of parts.

A closer look at operation

Notice the buttons, connections and the position of the user. Such details give you reason to ask during the tour how someone worked with the equipment.

Joining in time

The museum is open on Tuesdays, but tours do not start right up until closing time. So plan your arrival around an available start and check any fixed summer times.

Before you go

Get in touch in advance for groups, a different visiting day or accessibility questions. Additional Saturday openings are announced separately; do not treat them as a fixed weekly timetable.
