Nederlands Zilvermuseum Schoonhoven

A visit to the Nederlands Zilvermuseum in Schoonhoven is a fun, interactive, and educational outing for young and old. The visitor can see, feel, smell, and hear silver, while discovering many other facets of this most versatile precious metal in the World of Silver.
The unique collection is innovatively presented under imaginative themes such as ‘life & death’, ‘braggers’ and ‘eternal fame’. One of the highlights is the world’s longest silver do-table: an interactive table with an abundance of silver stories and silver tasks.
In the Silver Workshop our artists reveal their secrets, and visitors are invited to apply their own creativity in the Silver Workshop.
