Museum Ter Aar makes the auction clock speak again

In Ter Aar, changing exhibitions, local objects and activities around the Langeraarse Plassen link trade, daily life and landscape.

Plan your visit ↗

The auction clock as a trading machine

Look at the dial, the controls and the bidding logic. Ask which vegetable auction the object comes from and how speed and price influenced each other.

The exhibition changes with the seasons

Plaatjesalbums (picture-card albums) and Historische Effecten are examples from 2026. Check the title and run and do not expect a theme from an older announcement.

A boat trip shifts the perspective

An activity on the Langeraarse Plassen is not a daily part of the museum. Book it separately and only compare the water landscape with maps or photographs if these are available in the current presentation.

Before you go

Open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon 14.00–16.00; no regular access on other weekdays. Activities such as boat trips have their own dates and booking. Admission, public holiday hours and accessibility are not systematically stated; check them before you set off.
