Holland Museum

The best way to get acquainted with Holland is to take a crash course in its fascinating history-and there’s no better place for this than the Holland Museum. Here you’ll experience the arrival of the Dutch in 1847, their struggle for access to Lake Michigan, the devastating fire of 1871, and the amazing story of Holland’s rise from the ashes, the birth of Tulip Time, the war years of courage and commitment, and the burgeoning economic growth that continues today.
For nearly three-quarters of a century, the Holland Museum has received impressive gifts of Dutch culture from donors here and around the world. Recent donations of Dutch paintings have led the museum to create the New Dutch Galleries, which feature an extraordinary collection of 17th, 18th, and 19th century art and culture of the Netherlands. This is a spectacular collection-don’t miss it!
