The Purmerends Museum

The Purmerends Museum was created in 1942 and since 1955 it has been housed in the former town hall on the Kaasmarkt. This characteristic building was restored and adapted to a new museum in 1987. The Purmerends Museum has a varied collection relating to the town and the region. In addition to items for everyday use the collection comprises old prints, illustrations, maps and paintings, implements (including those used in the dairy industry), horse-leighs and pottery.

Pottery and more

The museum is best known for the beautiful collection of Purmerend Jugendstil Pottery.

In the period 1895-1907 Purmerend was a center for the factory production of jewelery, an example of the arts and crafts. The pottery bakeries of Wed. NSA Brantjes & Co, NV Haga, Jb Vet & Co and and L. Huisenga made vases, sculptures, tile pictures and tableware by designers such as August Falise, Chris van der Hoef, Chris Lanooy and Henri Teixeira de Mattos. Also a great place to get to know more about the history of this market town between the Beemster, Wormer and Purmer polders.
