Zaanse Schans

by isolina_it - last update: Mar 19, 2004

The Zaanse Schans is an open air museum near Zaandam in then province of North-Holland.
A small city from this area is rebuilt, giving a taste of the life of the richer people at the end of the 19th century.
The museum offers a lot of authentic dark green painted houses, mills and other workshops.

A toy village

It looks like walking in a perfect old tales toy village, coloured houses, perfectly cut gardens, everything well framed and at its place (geese included)

An old picture

I took this picture inside the Museum of Old Costumes, it shows what happened when the village was really alive.
