Nederlands Stoommachine Museum

The Dutch Steam Engine Museum is located in the former pumping station 'Vier Noorder Koggen'. This pumping station dates from 1869. An important part of the museum is this installation, because the pumping station gives a good picture of how things were done over 100 years ago that we now do with electricity. Many people don't realize that steam has a lot of power. It is not without reason that the steam engine was the start of the great Industrial Revolution. In this museum you can see how much power steam has, but you also learn more about the how and why of the steam engine. You will find all kinds of different working steam engines in the museum. Curious how exactly such a steam engine works? Then join the Stoomlab. With miniature steam engines you learn to better understand how steam works. You can even run a miniature steam engine yourself. Opening times: from spring break to the end of October from 10 am to 5 pm. Closed on Mondays. Open on Mondays during the holidays.
