Customs Experience
Come and experience this spectacular new section of our permanent exhibition. The museum offers a themed, interactive journey of discovery through the history of Dutch taxes and the world of Customs.
In this online exhibition, there are many revenue stamps to admire. We go 400 years back in time and take you through the history of this Dutch invention. The exhibition also pays attention to themes such as embossed tax stamps and seals in art, and tax stamp artists.
The Tax & Customs Museum was founded in 1937 to teach students of the National Tax Academy about the history of taxes. Through its collection, exhibitions, educational programmes and activities for visitors, the museum offers today a cultural-history adventure for young and old alike.
Explore the museum’s special collection of paintings, silverworks, official dress and uniforms, objects used by smugglers, measuring and weighing instruments, prints, drawings, photos and unique documents.
Visit the museum for a surprisingly enjoyable and informative experience. Be fascinated by intriguing stories and objects that illustrate the history of tax and customs in the Netherlands.
