About
The 'tastiest' museum in the Netherlands! In the museum you will see attributes and machines, which the baker used in his daily work. Most of these objects are still in use, but usually in a modernised form. The demonstrators use the old machines and other tools, as much as possible. Demonstrations take place at regular intervals at different places through the museum. Next to the demonstrations in the bakery, there are sugar-, marzipan- and chocolate demonstrations. Every day there are extra activities for children. In the shop, they can tell you more about the activities.

Time slot must be reserved via the website. Booked a few tickets for 3pm.
Once we arrived there was only 1 baker who explained something. The other activities (lolly making and chocolate department) were already closed because staff had gone home.
Disappointing for the kids.
Decorating cookies was still fun for them, but all in all I didn't think it was worth the money.

As we have only a few hours before we had to get in the boat to Enkhuizen, we took the chance to visit this old bakery museum. The location is 5 minutes walk from the steam train station. It looks like a small museum but when you go inside you will never believe it that it has a lot of things to see. All materials for baking, decorating etc and making chocolate. From the spices, ingredient, the mixer, the cake-mould etc. And some display cases show extraordinary cakes collection or chocolate products. There is also baking demonstration especially for the children. They can take a part in making cake with the staff. Once in a while they have workshop, too. You can also buy the cake or the chocolate in the shop before the entrance.

This is a must of you're in the area. It used to belong to a baker who loved to collect baking and bakery items. Now it's a living museum/cookies store/bakery, with . demonstations, hands on experiences for children in decorating cookies, and more. However, this is a small town business and is directed mostly toward Dutch people. Most the the explanations were in Dutch, but the exhibits were mostly in English, too or self explanatory.

The museum is small and exhibits are poorly presented. Neither adults nor kids in our group enjoyed it.

I was struck by delight when I arrived at the old bakery. This is really nice museum. It shows you everything about baking in the old tradional way. You can look, feel, taste and join in too. In a small, tradional derorated, coffee room, they serve tradional filter coffee wit a Dutch treat.You can also watch how bonbons is made. Fresh baked cookies, cakes and also, tradional candies, chocolate's and bonbons is sold in a lovely shop. All staff is dressed in tradional Dutch uniforms from way back times.

The museum is located in the center of Medemblik.
It is actually a small museum and it's housed in a common house.
But it is really worth visiting when you like to see a bakery from old times, or when you have younger kids.
The entrance is also the shop where they sell delicious freshly baked cookies.
They demonstrate how 'gevulde koeken' and 'speculaas' is made, and the smell of the oven will make you hungry!
The kids may help the baker with preparing, and they can decorate a 'speculaas' cookie.
Also a demonstration with chocolate was given.
In the museum you get a nice impression of the equipment and products of a bakery from the past.
A visit to the museum does take about one hour. It's perfect to combine the museum with either a walk in Medemblik (harbour and/or castle Radboud.
You can also consider to take the magnificent steam train to Hoorn.
Tip: parking near the museum is possible around the corner at the trainstation of the steamtrain, but be early as there are a small number of parking spaces.

We visited here as a large group. This historical museum seemed to be run by volunteers and is on two floors. The ground floor is the bakery and upstairs is the sweet making. I think they have a lot of school groups visiting. The demonstrations were quite fun and interesting but I am not sure if they really make anything in large quantities. We had tea and a cake to begin with and I was surprised they only had powdered milk - not a good example of quality! There is a poor display of sweets and biscuits for sale - they would sell more if they had their goods displayed more professionally.

We visited this museum based on the reviews online and though bit sceptical at first, we were very pleasantly surprised.
There is a bakery where two bakers make fresh cookies and biscuits and the children are allowed to participate. There is also a chocolatier where kids can make their own chocolate candies. There is a photo corner where kids can pretend to be bakers. A lot of old memorabilia and video room. Finished off with a little store where you can buy the cookies and sweets that you've been smelling the whole time.
If you're near and have preteen kids, this is definitely worth it.

This is a small museum with not too many exhibits. A large part of the space is for tables to have coffee and baked goods. For kid it looks like it could be lots fun the participation and eating. The number of actual exhibit items is small. Not a must see stop.
