First of all we must mention the Delft Blue Earthenware, of which the production process according to traditional methods can be followed at close range.
Secondly the jenever distillation process can be followed step by step in the Dutch jenever town.
Another possibility is to visit a ship-yard and see examples of Dutch 17th century shipbuilding.
