Overview

Housed in the historic Pakhuis Koophandel, ’t Andere Museum mixes early automobiles with model railways, radios and regional lace—a quirky, locally focused display. The layout is compact, making it easy to see highlights in an hour or two.

Collections include early production cars (notable vintage examples), scale railways and textile exhibits that reflect local craft traditions. Check the museum website for current exhibits, opening times and ticket info before you visit.

What to Expect
