Welcome to the website of the National Cooperation Museum. The “burner city” of Schiedam is home to many beautiful historic buildings; one of these buildings, dating from 1891, houses the Cooperative museum. Access to the museum has a low barrier because one enters the museum through the shop. Visitors are free to sign the guestbook and leave a donation.
There is no lift in the museum, which is why the museum area on the first floor is difficult to reach for people with reduced mobility.

In the museum you can get a picture of the rise, growth and decline of the Cooperative in the Netherlands over more than 100 years. In addition to a variety of packaging for HAKA and CO-OP foodstuffs, books and art expressions, you will also find a wealth of information about the history and ideals of the Consumer Cooperatives in the Netherlands. Entrance to the Museum is Free .
