On the ground floor is the reception area with the possibility to buy souvenirs. On the semicircular back-wall you can see the Panorama of Haarlem set around 1800, painted by Chiel Braat recently.
On the 1st floor, visitors can watch videos about windmills in general, and the Adriaan windmill in particular.
You will find our permanent exhibition on the 2nd floor. The story of Dutch windmills is told by means of beautiful, detailed, models.
On the 3rd floor you will find a man-sized model of the Adriaan windmill. With a hand mill you can also try to grind grain yourself!
Here you can go outside onto the large wrap-around balcony. There you can enjoy the beautiful view over the city of Haarlem and the river Spaarne. This floor was used to store the milled flour.
Several times a week the windmill blades turn and then a large vertical wooden shaft with a large gear wheel above your head rotates. Regularly the mill stone set is connected to this main shaft so that flour can be milled.
