Very interesting museum. You'll learn how the Dutch pumped dry a huge inner sea in the 1800's and reclaimed a vast area of land. The old machinery is demonstrated for visitors by the very helpful museum guides and it's very impressive to see it all come to life. Amazing to realize that Amsterdam a.o. towns would've vanished completely if it hadn't been for steam pumping stations such as these. The museum is OPEN by the way, despite maps saying it's temporarily closed. You do need to reserve.

This is high-tech from the industrial revolution. The machine is made with love and now threaten as it should in the days of retirement.

Very good. Didn't expect to see all those old engines in action.

A stunning museum with the possibility to see 2 of the 6 pumps in action
