At the Zaans Museum there is a rich exhibition on show, which shows the rich cultural past of the area and her wealth: the industry. The permanent exhibition consists of a beautiful collection regional costumes, Zaans painted furniture and objects of Zaans homes and businesses.

Ship's models, paintings and original objects show the imposing history of shipbuilding and whalehunting.
