🇳🇱 Exploring 100 Dutch Museums - Haarlem Historical Museum

Having lived near Schiphol for almost a year, I recently stumbled upon Haarlem while hunting for Vietnamese pho. Compared to nearby Hoofddorp or Nieuw-Vennep, this charming town stood out—so I decided to visit its Historical Museum! 📍 Location: Hidden in an unassuming alley (Groot Heiligland 47), but packed with fascinating stories. What’s Inside? 🎭 Haarlem’s History: From a medieval fishing hub to a thriving city shaped by trade, immigration, and the Dutch Golden Age. 🛡️ WWII & Nazi Resistance: How locals fought back during the occupation. 🎨 Rotating Exhibits: A mask exhibition (reminded me of Eyes Wide Shut—Tom Cruise vibes! 😏). Artist Sjoerd Buisman’s nature-themed installations (including a row of potatoes—confusing but intriguing! 🤔). Vibe The front-desk staff were super friendly, offering detailed insights. Small but thoughtfully curated—great for history buffs! Practical Info Hours: Tue-Sat 11:00-17:00 | Sun-Mon 12:00-17:00 Website: verweymuseumhaarlem.nl Rating: ★★★ (Worth a detour if you’re nearby!) Final Thoughts A cozy, niche museum that mirrors Haarlem’s layered past. Perfect for a rainy afternoon! ☔ #DutchMuseums #Haarlem #MuseumHopping #WeekendIdeas #HistoryLovers #NetherlandsLife
