Zandvoorts Museum
During your stay in Zandvoort you cannot miss a visit to the Zandvoorts Museum. In addition to the beautiful works of art, the museum also gives a glimpse into the history of the village and shows the heritage of Zandvoort. About every two months there is a changing exhibition about new or old art in the two large halls.
The core collection of the Zandvoorts Museum hangs in the gray room. Here you can admire paintings that show what the village used to look like. You will see the boats of the fishermen on the beach and the Zandvoort fish walkers, who went to sell the fish on foot to Haarlem or Bloemendaal.
There is an authentic Zandvoort living room with a box bed to view. There is also a Water and Fire Shop, as they used to exist in the village. The inhabitants bought coal here early in the morning to light their fireplaces.
There is a room of wonder with more than 70 objects. There is also a section where the story of Simon Paap, the smallest person in the world, is told. For the children there is a special treasure hunt and the Kees de Muis house, a place where children can play and learn.
