Westfries Museum, Art museum in Binnenstad, Hoorn, Netherlands.
The Westfries Museum occupies a monumental structure from 1632, featuring 25 rooms filled with paintings, silver objects, and historical artifacts across multiple floors.
Founded in 1880, the museum endured a major theft in 2005 when 21 paintings were stolen during its 125th anniversary, with some pieces later recovered in Ukraine.
The museum maintains a collection of 38,000 objects from 1500 to 1800, including Dutch East India Company items and regional militia artifacts from West Friesland.
During renovations until 2027, visitors can explore temporary exhibitions at Statenpoort on Nieuwstraat, open Monday through Friday 11:00-17:00 and weekends 13:00-17:00.
The museum houses restored 15th-century cellars, discovered in 1953, which now display archaeological findings from Hoorn and surrounding areas.
