Museum of the 20th Century
This unique museum was opened in 1994 and houses an impressive collection of objects from the 20th Century which will appeal to both young and old alike! Your visit will take you on a nostalgic journey through the last century with something for everyone, from grandchildren to grandparents.
The Museum moved in October 2011 to its imposing new premises on Oostereiland (Eastern Island) in the historic harbor of Hoorn. The Museum has a lift and excellent facilities for invalids as well as a Museum Shop, where you will find a selection of interesting gifts.
Over a two year period the former prison complex “De Krententuin” was transformed to accommodate not only the Museum of the 20th Century but also Cinema Oostereiland, together with a comfortable Brasserie and a Tourist Information Centre. The panoramic view of the IJsselmeer from the island is superb and the harbor bustles with pleasure boats, old Dutch barges and cruise ships.
In the permanent Museum Collection you will find many familiar but long forgotten items from the last century. You can visit the Baker’s Shop, Haberdashery, Hairdresser, Classroom and rooms in the style of the various decades of the 20th century.
Exhibitions are planned throughout the year and currently there are several different exhibitions: 80 Years of Fisher Price; Barbie Dolls; Mona Lisa Mania and “On the Move” which includes a large collection of old peddle cars and many other items that move using wheels.
