Archeologisch Museum Haarlem, Archaeological museum in Grote Markt, Netherlands.
The Museo Arqueologico de Haarlem occupies a vaulted cellar from the 1600s and displays finds recovered from the surrounding region. The collection includes pottery, tools, and household items that illuminate how people lived in earlier periods.
The museum was established in 1991 after a local archaeological group began recording finds in 1970. This systematic collection effort transformed scattered discoveries into a structured exhibition.
Medieval pottery and footwear on display reveal how people in this city dressed and ate during earlier centuries. These everyday objects show local craftsmanship and social customs that shaped daily routines.
The museum sits in the city center and opens Wednesday through Sunday. Entry is combined with the adjacent Frans Hals Museum, so you can easily explore both collections in one visit.
A reconstructed medieval cesspit shows visitors how archaeologists excavate and interpret buried remains. This hands-on display reveals the detective work behind recovering objects from the ground.
