Fancy following the scent of fresh biscuits? Then you’ve come to the right place. For almost forty years, this has been regarded as the tastiest museum in the Netherlands.
At De Oude Bakkerij Bakery Museum in Medemblik , you don’t just look back at the past. Here, people have been kneading, baking and tasting for almost forty years. As soon as the oven opens, you know straight away: they’re still baking the real thing here. You can see how currant buns and filled biscuits are made, whilst chocolate and confectionery require a different kind of craftsmanship.
Meanwhile, you’ll discover old tools, machines and techniques from the baking trade. This way, history isn’t served up in a dry, academic way, but in a way that’s truly enjoyable. Bakers give regular demonstrations in the bakery and on chocolate and marzipan.
It would be a shame just to look…

It would be a shame to just look around here. Children can take part in activities, such as decorating biscuits, at any time. For adults, De Oude Bakkerij organises workshops and packages, ranging from bread-baking to working with chocolate and sugar. Bookings must be made in advance via the website.
After all that baking, your stomach is bound to start rumbling. At the museum café Koekerij Cees de Boer, coffee, tea and treats from the in-house bakery are waiting for you. In the museum shop, you’ll find biscuits, chocolate, traditional Dutch sweets and West Frisian currant bread to take home with you.
Take that currant bun home with you. It’ll still be delicious tomorrow – if it lasts that long, that is.
