Top Things to do in Gouda
What to do and see in Gouda, South Holland Province: The Best Museums
Lying about 15 miles northeast of Rotterdam, Gouda is most famous for its eponymous cheese. One of its most prized attractions, De Waag on the town square, was once a weighing house for cheese traders and now features an exhibit detailing the entire cheese making process. Also on the square is the 15th-century town hall, one of the oldest in the Netherlands. On Thursday mornings during the summer, the town’s Markt turns back into a traditional cheese market, something not to be missed.

Museum Gouda was founded in 1874 and moved to the 17th century former hospital"Catharina Gasthuis" on Oosthaven 9 in 1947.The former hospital was designed by famous architect Pieter Post in 1665 and was build next to a 15th century chapel dating from 1474.I enjoyed the contemporary art,19th century landscape paintings and 16th century religious paintings and most of all the historic interiors and garden.I also enjoyed the "plateel"ceramic collection and the fact that there were only a few visitors. MJK free entrance.
