Grietje Tump Museum
This small house was built in 1890 by Klaas Tump, an egg merchant. Since 1913, the property has been owned by Cornelis Cornelisz. Tump. The house is now home to a museum dedicated to his daughter, Grietje Tump, who lived here until 1973.
The house is largely constructed of green-painted timber. Only the imposing front façade is built of brick and stands on a brick plinth. In the front room, there is a wall of box beds running the full width of the side façade. The extension comprises a smaller, formal room and the kitchen.
In 1996, the museum was extended and enlarged. The interior provides an authentic picture of daily life in Waterland around 1900, featuring simple furniture, everyday objects and personal belongings.
On the façade is an enamelled plaque indicating the water level during the last flood of 1916. In 2016, during the celebrations marking ‘100 years of dry feet’, similar plaques were fitted to the façades at five locations in Landsmeer.
The building is currently listed as a municipal monument.
