Streekmuseum Hoeksche Waard
Investigation results
None of the objects in this museum have problematic provenance.
Result of this investigation
The museum reports that investigators found no objects with problematic provenance. The museum is currently compiling a register of its collection. It appears that little information was recorded regarding provenance, so that little information is actually available. Most of the objects in the collection were received as gifts from people living in Hoeksche Waard. Only one item was ever bought: a polder glass acquired at an auction in Amsterdam. The collection contains few objects of which the provenance might be worth investigating.
About this museum and its collection
Hoeksche Waard Museum opened in 1968 with a history collection dating back to 1958 when collectors began acquiring objects relating to the history of Hoeksche Waard in earnest. The collection includes traditional local costume, jewellery, household items and a collection of polder glassware.
