Upcoming Museum Night

28 October 2024

On Saturday evening, November 2, it's that time again. The Museum Night starts at seven o'clock in the evening. Our museum is one of the 70 locations that can be visited. Our regular program consists of the speed tours, this year supplemented with the possibility to hold pipes of different materials in your own hands. Feel the difference between clay, meerschaum and wood, and get an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of each pipe. Finally, there is our presentation about the pipe finds from Suriname, on display for the first time in our own museum. By the way, the tickets for this event are unfortunately already sold out!

Duco's manual available again

18 October 2024

The much-cited handbook on the Dutch clay pipe (1987) by Don Duco has been sold out since 2010. By a wonderful stroke of luck we found six copies, incorrectly stored more than ten years ago and still in new condition. For those who have been looking for this book for years, now is the chance to get their hands on it. The price is Euro 50. First ordered, first served!

Birthday

1 October 2024

Today we celebrate our 55th birthday! Not with big activities, but just with birthday cake in the museum for everyone who comes by. The previous lustrum celebration was cancelled due to Corona, we only thought about this memorable birthday a few days ago. So, organizing a party was no longer an option. Can we agree that the next lustrum, our sixtieth birthday, can be celebrated in style?
