Museum Noordwijk, located in a beautifully preserved inland dune farmhouse that is 400 years old, offers a unique view of the history and culture of Noordwijk.

The collection also features artworks by renowned artists such as Oswald Wenckebach, Charlotte van Pallandt, and Maja van Hall, all of whom lived and worked in Noordwijk. Visitors can also enjoy a substantial number of paintings by Ludolph Berkemeier and J.H. Wijsmuller, depicting what Noordwijk looked like around 1900.
Museum Noordwijk presents several period rooms, furnished in the style of Noordwijk at the beginning of the 20th century.
