Small and cool local museum. Stayed about an hour.
Beautiful small local museum. Part of the building still functions as council house. In the past it used to be a dungeon too, with two cells for maximum 4 prisoners, which are visible too.
When we visited there were two exhibitions of two major companies that were based in Weesp in the past: the Van Houten chocolate factory, and a porcelain factory. Especially the Van Houten story was interesting; who knew that a Dutch company had a breakthrough chocolate processing invention, and became a global front runner in marketing, advertising with American movie stars, and having billboards in the Rocky Mountains and along the Suez Canal, among others. Very interesting indeed.
The personnel was rather friendly and informative.
A very pleasant experience!
Interesting small history museum
Great museum and was fun to bring the Cocoa lid we found in central Australia back to the place it was made.
In moderate or bad weather, it is worth a visit. gives the history of Orphanp and Wooden chocolate, and much more. If you are in Weesp, go there.
