Twisca Museum

Museum Twisca is housed in the old town hall of Twisk. Inside, the focus is on the village itself: old artefacts, photographs, stories and archaeological finds. It’s not a large, flashy museum. Rather, it’s Twisk as it used to be – and, in some ways, still is.

Who is this a good site for?

For those who don’t just want to see Twisk, but also want to understand it. Museum Twisca is ideal for village enthusiasts, heritage seekers, cyclists and walkers who like to make a short but meaningful stop. It’s also great if you’re walking through the ribbon village and want to know what lies behind those façades.

When will you visit here?

Do drop by on a Sunday between June and September. In 2026, Museum Twisca will also be open on Sunday 4 October and Sunday 1 November. The museum is open from 11.00 to 15.00. Outside these dates, visits may be possible by appointment.

What to expect.

You step inside the former Twisk town hall, built in 1889. In the old council chamber, you’ll find, amongst other things, excavated pottery, a cheese vats from 1851, a village chest from 1700, carpenter’s tools and handicrafts. The cellar provides space for a themed exhibition. Village history, in other words. Small, but firmly rooted.
