Zwaanendael Museum is a nice small two story museum with interesting artifacts and a MERMAN on display! The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The building is lovely and there is a well kept garden with fountain in back.

Pretty cool little stop. Beautiful garden in the back and cool artifacts to look at inside the museum. Plus we got to see the merman.

Good place. It’s free. Small but with a lot of history. The second floor has a space for the kids to do a lot of activities. You can donate some money at the end of the tour. Average time to spend … about 30 minutes.
