Smoking evenings discontinued

Anti-smoking is increasingly taking hold of the Netherlands. New legislation now makes it impossible to hold smoking evenings without breaking the law. As an attraction of our museum, the smoking evening has always had a peaceful character, helping novice pipe smokers in particular to get started in the ceremonial of stopping and enjoying pipe smoking. But you can also see it as promoting smoking. That is no longer possible and no longer allowed either. We look back with nostalgia on the countless pleasant evenings that people of all denominations gathered to peacefully (learn to) smoke a pipe.
