Museum covering the local history of Haarlem, with information in English and well laid out

Splendid museum. The art section is not really my thing but as it relates to modern artists from Haarlem will hold the interest of the right person.
I enjoyed the history exhibits on the second floor very much - they are in-depth and because the stories are told from individual Haarlem burghers very interesting indeed.

Nice information about Haarlem. The audio device sucks however, it doesn't follow the route at the museum in a logical way.

A small but very well organized museum depicting the development of this gorgeous city through the ages. Yes people visit it on the way to Frans Hals museum a door away but it's really worth the time to learn about the city. An extra star for the very friendly and helpful ladies at reception

The exhibition is quite well designed, some people had a great taste, narrative and eye to the details. You can learn many interesting things about the history of Haarlem. There was also a temporary comic book exhibition, which was a nice surprise.

I had a great time during my visit at this museum!

The staff is well informed about the history of Haarlem and was able to answer all of our questions. The main expedition was filled with pretty unusual yet interesting items which I personally loved.

Reason why I would recommend museum Haarlem to healthcare students is because the expedition has a "history of healthcare" theme which is very informative to show students how modern-day healthcare has been established.

Things to note:

- There is a dedicated quite roomy space where kids can play with toys
- There is an elevator
- There are English options for tourists

After the expedition there is a lovely space to enjoy a cup of coffee with a nice collection beverages with next to it a small giftshop with items corresponding to the expedition. The location of the museum is perfect if you like museums, with the Frans Hals museum being in the same street and it being located in the centre of Haarlem.

This museum is not quite it. You'd think they would have a permanent exhibition on the history of Haarlem but they don't and the temporary ones are not the best. The introduction movie is ooooold-fashioned and a little bit quirky. Only go if you can appreciate slightly old and odd things. ;)
