The Peat Colonies Museum is renowned for its unique collection on shipping, peat extraction, and the flourishing culture of the north. Exclusive art history publications are now available through the Dutch Museum Gift Shop, such as “A Touch of Art Nouveau in East Groningen” and “Amsterdam School & More.” Each one is a richly illustrated book that lovers of architecture, design, and art history won’t find anywhere else. In addition to these special publications, the museum offers a range of products that make the region’s story tangible – from monographs on shipbuilding and the strawboard industry to original souvenirs that recall the enterprising spirit of the Groningen Peat Colonies.

The Dutch Museum Gift Shop is the online museum shop where almost twenty museums have now joined forces. Visitors can combine products from different museums in a single order – from art books and design objects to jewelry and educational gifts. Every purchase directly contributes to the museums and allows them to support and experience special collections.

With the arrival of the Peat Colonies Museum, the webshop is enriched with products that capture the spirit of the Northern Netherlands – a unique gift, a valuable addition to a bookcase, or a lasting reminder of the rich history of the Peat Colonies.
