Museum BroekerVeiling and its collection

Museum BroekerVeiling
Source

The Broekerveiling is the oldest ‘doorvaar-groentenveiling’ in the world. The auctioning started in 1887 at the same spot the museum is situated now. The museum exhibits punts (boats) and tools. Auctions are held with the punts, which illustrate how the auction worked. Important in the museum is the auction room with an auction clock from 1903. Visitors can go outside for a walk along orchards, fields and bridges.

    Museum BroekerVeiling offers visitors an insightful look into the historical vegetable auction system of the Netherlands. Located in Broek op Langedijk, this museum provides an authentic experience of the region's agricultural heritage. The highlight is the restored auction house, where guests can participate in a mock vegetable auction, giving them a hands-on understanding of how the system worked. The museum also features exhibits on local farming techniques and the evolution of the auction process. Many visitors appreciate the boat tour through the surrounding polders, which adds context to the area's geography and farming history. The museum's staff are often praised for their knowledge and enthusiasm. However, some guests note that the information provided could be more comprehensive, especially for international visitors who may not be familiar with Dutch agricultural history. The museum is generally well-maintained, though a few areas might benefit from updates. Overall, Museum BroekerVeiling provides an educational and engaging experience for those interested in Dutch agricultural history and local culture.

    De Broekerveiling in Broek op Langendijk is waar buitenlandse toeristen het Hollandgevoel beleven. Maar ook voor Nederlanders is het de moeite waard. Van oudsher bevond zich hier een veiling. Al eeuwen geleden hadden de bewoners het zompige land uitgebaggerd en met het slik maakten zij eilandjes waarop zij vooral kolen verbouwden. Tot op heden is dat slik enorm vruchtbaar, kunstmest is niet nodig. In dit moerassige land ontstond door dit uitdiepen en ophopen een eilandenrijk dat in zijn hoogtijdagen 15.000 eilandjes, akkertjes door de bevolking genoemd telde. Het werd bekend als het rijk der duizend eilanden. Met bootjes voeren de tuinders vanaf 1887 naar Broek op Langendijk om hun waar te veilen. Zo ontstond de Broeker Veiling. Aanvankelijk in de open lucht. Begin 20ste eeuw werd de veiling overdekt en ontstond het veilinggebouw zoals het er nu nog staat. Tot 1972 vonden de veilingen in dit gebouw op het water plaats. Toen werd de veiling verplaatst en gemoderniseerd. Overigens worden er nog steeds veel kolen in deze regio verbouwd. Ik wist niet dat witte kool zoveel variëteiten kende. Door verkaveling krompen de akkertjes tot een klein nu beschermd stukje natuurgebied dat onderdeel van het museumcomplex geworden is. Zo is een stukje Nederlandse geschiedenis bewaard gebleven en absoluut de moeite waard om te beleven.
