You will find traditional Dutch sweets here: ‘peppermint pillows’, cinnamon sticks, ‘butter waffles’ and magic gobstoppers – and nostalgic toys, classic picture postcards and old-fashioned oil lamps, too. Of course, you are also welcome to visit the shop simply to soak up the atmosphere of earlier days. The shop is open from 12.00 to 16.00 on days when the museum is open.
