Breda Dollhouse Museum...

That Saturday we headed to Breda for their Winter Wonderland. We’d never been to Breda before, so I did some quick research of what there is to see and was thrilled when I came across this museum. The €3.50 entrance fee even included a coffee, tea or shot of a local liqueur served while watching the introductory video.  

We were pleasantly surprised when we learned that the majority of the collection was donated by one family, and much of it was handmade by the mother. Here is King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima on the day of his coronation.

The attention to detail was incredible!

While most of the collection was individual rooms, here’s one of the complete houses.

I especially loved this hat store.

Downstairs was an entire village built by an artist that included sweet features such as this special bike for selling milk and eggs.  

The museum was part of the complex making up the Begijnhof Breda, which was built in 1535 to house pious Catholic women. 

While it’s been sometime since Jimmy worked on or the girls played with our dollhouse, it is prominently displayed in our new house.
