Museum De Waag, Historical museum in Brink square, Deventer, Netherlands.

Museum De Waag occupies a three-level Gothic building with a stair tower, clock, and three small spires in the center of Deventer.

The building, constructed between 1528 and 1531, operated as a weighing house until 1862 before transitioning into a museum in 1915.

The museum exhibits works from notable Dutch artists including Gerard ter Borch II, Hendrick ter Brugghen, and Han van Meegeren's The Last Supper from 1941.

The museum provides free audio tours in Dutch, wheelchair accessibility through elevators, and accepts the Netherlands Museum Pass for entry.

A copper cauldron from 1434, historically used for executing counterfeiters, was replaced with a replica on the building's exterior in 2024.
