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.
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. Learn more
