Amsterdam Pipe Museum and its collection

Amsterdam Pipe Museum
Source

The Amsterdam Pipe Museum is housed in a seventeenth-century canal house in Amsterdam. It offers the smoking culture in the world over 25 centuries, by exhibiting a collection of smoking pipes and tobacco-related paraphernalia. The collection consists of more than 30,000 objects, of which about three thousand items are shown in the permanent exhibition. The oldest exhibit is a pre-columbian pipe from Ecquador, dating 600 BC, the earliest pipe in the world. The collection fits fully into the historic interior, with its antique furniture and room decoration. The museum shop offers next to postcards and books, tobacco pipes both for collectors and pipe smokers.
