Greetings from the Spaghetti Flat

In Zaandam South there is a very special flat. People from all over the world live there. The flat has a curious name: the Spaghetti Flat. But how did the building actually get this name and where do all the residents come from?

In this special little playful exhibition for families, visitors to the Zaans Museum discover that people have been coming to the Zaan region for work for centuries. All those people have brought with them belongings, customs and traditions that make the region what it is today.

A surprise awaits in each apartment of the flat, for the fact that Mr. De Boer at No. 116 is also descended from people who came here for work is not immediately apparent until you look more closely and listen.
