Museum Voor Het Kruideniersbedrijf
About This Museum
People don't just come here for the free admission; they come to step back in time. The moment you walk in, the scent of old wood and centuries of sugar hits you, pulling you straight into the world of a traditional 19th-century Dutch grocery. You'll find yourself marveling at towering apothecary jars, beautifully preserved tea caddies, and all the quaint paraphernalia that once filled a neighborhood shop. It’s an incredibly intimate and personal experience that feels more like discovering a hidden family attic than visiting a formal museum.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the place is the original shop counter and its gorgeous, glass-fronted cabinets stocked with vintage packaging and tins. Don't miss the collection of old coffee grinders and scales, but the real highlight for many is the authentic candy shop where you can still buy old-fashioned sweets.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on a charming canal-side street in Utrecht, and yes, it really is free to pop in and explore. Just check their website for opening hours as they can be limited.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a classic, narrow Dutch canal house with a characteristic gabled facade that perfectly suits its historic purpose.
