Playing with the past in the Oudheidkamer

Exhibition ‘Playing and toys’ in the Oudheidkamer The temporary exhibition in the Oudheidkamer, the charming museum in the centre of Den Burg, is entirely dedicated to playing and toys. What did children play with in the past? And how does that differ from today’s toys? On the upper floor of the authentically furnished house, you can discover how playing changed over the centuries. Don’t forget to visit the atmospheric herb garden behind the museum. The Museum card is valid.
