Everyday life, carefully kept

The Huis van Alijn is a folk museum about ordinary life in the 20th century — the everyday stuff most museums ignore. Toys, shop signs, radios, wedding photos, the little rituals of family and neighbourhood. It's housed in a former almshouse complex, which is exactly the sort of place where ordinary lives were lived. Nostalgic, funny and quietly moving. Bring your grandparents, or just your curiosity.
