When the museum is in full working order, ie the steam engines are turned on, this is a true journey through time. Even when there is no steam it is still very worth while. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to guide you around these fascinating and beautiful machines

This is a former pumping station to keep the polder dry. It still has its original steam engine, but there are many other steam engines to be seen. Some will be operated during demonstrations. There is also a blacksmith, and outside there is a dredging boat and many more machines. Currently there is also an exhibition with Meccano constructions. In the tourist season there are handy transport options to the steam tram and ferry stop in Medemblik.

Excellent place for kids to be amazed, to learn about old technology that was important in human history. Highly recommended for the entire family.

The museum was closed when I arrived, but it looks good from the outside, and there are many big machines on display outside. I have seen the Woudagemaal in Lemmer and the Hollandsch-Duitsch gemaal in Nijmegen, and I expect this one would be similar in content, the steam engines being used to pump water out. May be nice as a destination in itself - surely nice in combination with Radboud castle and Medemblik.
