Dutch Galleries
The Holland Museum, originally the Netherlands Museum, has been a recipient of impressive gifts of Dutch culture from donors here and around the world for the last three-quarters of a century. While many of these gifts were on display, many others languished in storage for lack of gallery space.
The Dutch Galleries were created to celebrate each of these artifacts. Today, the galleries demonstrate how Dutch heritage has contributed so much to the community’s sense of identity and its success. We invite you to learn from the past and help shape the future with your own inspiration as you walk the galleries. Learn more
