Flipje & Streekmuseum, Regional museum and heritage center in Tiel, Netherlands.
Flipje & Streekmuseum is housed in a historic building from 1789 and displays collections about local history, archaeology, and regional fruit industry development. The exhibits document how fruit and jam production shaped the economic and social development of the area.
The museum originated from the Antiquities Chamber Association of Tiel and Surroundings, which began collecting regional artifacts starting in 1901. Over the 20th century, the collection grew into an important repository of local memory and heritage.
The museum displays traditional local crafts such as tin foundry and glassblowing that remain connected to the region's identity. These techniques shape how locals and visitors understand the city's character and industrial heritage today.
The museum is open on weekday afternoons and weekend afternoons with varying hours depending on the day. It is helpful to check opening times in advance and to contact ahead if you wish to arrange a guided tour.
The collection includes extensive materials about Flipje, a fruit-based marketing figure that became a symbol of the local jam industry. This character remains recognizable today and serves as a link between Tiel and its fruit production heritage.
