The Museum Noordwijk is situated in the centre of town in an old fishing house, which is a mere 2 minute walk from the Flying Pig Beach hostel. The museum focuses on the local history of the area through a diverse exhibition of art, photography, and memorabilia.
The Museum is run entirely by volunteers from the Society of Noordwijk, which has around 2600 members. And the majority of the exhibits have been lent to the museum by the society and the local community.
Each room of the old house is dedicated to a certain topic, and at the back of the Museum a large gallery has been constructed to extend the exhibition. On my visit the gallery was home to a collection of designs and paintings by the famous Dutch artist Leon Senf.
