Pipe smoking course

19 novembre 2014

With the bustle during the last MuseumN8, it was of course not possible to offer visitors - in addition to a look at the varied pipe collection - the experience of pipe smoking. That will change. Over the next two months, the Amsterdam Pipe Museum will organize the "pipe smoking course" several times. In one evening, some intricacies of pipe smoking are explained, which are immediately put into practice. Register at info@pipemuseum.nl for one of the following evenings: November 19, November 27, December 3, 2014. Costs € 25 (student card € 20) including tobacco and drinks.

Fifteen years back

13 novembre 2014

Only four years after our move from Leiden to Amsterdam, on 13 November 1999, our museum received the Artifex award. This annual award is given to a museum or other cultural institution that has special merits in cultural tourism. The Amsterdam Pijpenkabinet museum got this award for its initiative of making a private collection into a museum. In particular the personal tours were appreciated by the jury: each visitor gets a personalized tour through the 'house of the collector'. Exactly fifteen years after the award ceremony, the museum still functions in the same way, although the numbers of visitors have increased considerably. One factor for this success is the name change into the more international Amsterdam Pipe Museum.

Museum night a big success

6 novembre 2014

More than 500 people visited the Amsterdam Pipe Museum, a considerable number for one evening considering the limited space of the canal house. Of course, it was announced that fumed beer could be tasted, but there was also plenty of serious interest in the beautiful historic house and the special collection. Amsterdam Pipe Museum participated for the first time this year, but it certainly will not be the last. AT5-television made a nice report of no less than 18 minutes.
