Westlands Museum — Attraction in Westland

This was one of two stops on a bus tour that provided working displays of greenhouses and gardens, and a guide provided historical information during the tour. There was a review of how the use of these structures developed over time and the creative methods used to maximize production of fruits and vegtables, as well as some of the old equipment used in days gone by. There is also a small museum that displays historical information on the people and equipment used. I honestly didn't know what to expect here, and as we wound our way through the tour I found myself wishing that I had gone elsewhere. The information is mildly interesting and very slow paced. Unless you are an avid gardner or a farmer, you may want to reconsider visiting here in favor of other points of interest. If you found this review helpful, please let me know by tapping the thumbs up to let me...

Very interesting visit to get insights into the history of market gardening in the Westland of The Netherlands. Vintage collection of tools and equipment demonstrating the technology used in the 'kassen' from the beginning to the high technological solutions now being used to maximise production. Talked at some length to one of the staff who talked at some length about his personal experience working in the kassen as a young lad with his older family members. Hadn't heard of hot and cold kassen before. Well worth a visit...

We had an amazing day at the Westland Museum! You immediately immerse yourself in the region's fascinating history - there are so many interesting facts and captivating exhibits. The kids especially loved the quest, they simply couldn't tear themselves away!

And what a beautiful garden they have! The flowers and fruit trees create a magical atmosphere - you walk around and enjoy the beauty. The parking is free and very convenient. This museum is a real treasure! We're delighted and will definitely come back here...
