You will find box-beds, items from former times and so called 'Harlinger' tiles from the 18th century.

The proceeds will entirely support the facilitation of the opening of 't Walvisvaarders Huisje. Children under the age of 5 and visitors with a Texelse Museumpas have free entry. Tickets are available on the website of the Texel tourist association (VVV). You can find the opening hours on the events page.
