Curator of Zoetermeer’s Heritage
Stadsmuseum Zoetermeer is the curator of Zoetermeer’s heritage. This collection includes truly Zoetermeer items such as the livery collar (chain of office) of Zegwaart, the ornamental tile of ‘Castle Palenstein’, the pill boxes of doctor Palte and the signboard of café ‘De Jonge Prins’ in the Dorpsstraat.
Up to 2023 the museum was located in the city centre of Zoetermeer. After the grant ended, the collection was stored in the depot and nowadays only viewable online. The foundation Stadsmuseum Zoetermeer manages and maintains the Zoetermeer collection.
