About Westfries Museum

The Westfries Museum has been housed in the former Statencollege since 1881: a national monument from 1632 in the heart of the historic port city of Hoorn. The monumental housing gives the museum a special character. Together, the collection and the building tell the story of the cultural history of Hoorn and West Friesland, with the emphasis on the most exciting period in that history: the 17th century. Just like in our temporary exhibitions, we like to mirror the present to the past. The museum is currently closed for a long period of time due to a major renovation and renovation. But online and in the city we continue to tell the story about the history of Hoorn and West Friesland. Via our (temporary) website, our newsletter and social media. And visit us from mid-2023 in our temporary museum location Statenpoort. In the meantime, follow all architectural and archaeological progress via our construction blog at westfriesmuseum.nl.
