Stichting Museum Overschie
About

Museum Oud Overschie offers a charming journey into the history of one of Rotterdam’s oldest village districts, set within a collection of beautifully preserved historic buildings. The museum showcases the rich heritage of Overschie through thousands of photographs, paintings, tools, and everyday objects dating from the mid‑19th to mid‑20th century. Its rooms recreate traditional interiors, workshops, and local crafts, including blacksmithing, carpentry, and sweet‑making, giving visitors an authentic sense of village life before Rotterdam’s expansion. The atmosphere is intimate and community‑driven, with many items donated by local residents who help keep the area’s memory alive. Surrounded by the peaceful charm of old Overschie, the museum offers a warm and nostalgic glimpse into a time when the neighbourhood was still a rural settlement shaped by waterways, craftsmanship, and close‑knit traditions.
