Nederlands Zilvermuseum Schoonhoven, Silver museum and workshop in Schoonhoven, Netherlands.
The Nederlands Zilvermuseum is a museum dedicated to silver objects spanning different periods and styles. The collection ranges from religious pieces and traditional tableware to modern jewelry, displayed within a historic building that once served military purposes.
The museum was established in 1953 through the merger of two separate collections and relocated to Schoonhoven in 1978. Moving to this town connected the institution with a region long known for its silver-making traditions.
Silver craftsmanship forms a core part of Schoonhoven's identity, with the town having been a center for this trade for centuries. The museum reflects how this skill shaped the community and continues to influence local pride.
The building is fully accessible and easily reached by public transport. Plan for about two to three hours to explore the permanent displays and all areas at a comfortable pace.
Visitors can try their hand at silver techniques in the ZilverLab while learning directly from experienced craftspeople. This hands-on approach creates a connection with the craft beyond simple observation.
Opening Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10:00-17:00; Sunday 12:00-17:00
