Past
If there was an accident in the factory, employees could take refuge in the two reinforced concrete shelters (alongside buildings 294 and 322) until it was safe to return. There are three entrances and exits, an access hole between the two shelters, and a passageway to the emergency station beneath the building. Benches were set up along each side of the shelter, on which people could sit and wait. When the shelters became redundant, they were used to store the archives.
The Zaans Museum was founded in 1998 on the Zaanse Schans to guard and preserve the Zaan heritage.
The Hembrug Museum tells the story of the arms and ammunition factory that was located on the Hembrugterrein in Zaandam.
In 1697, the Russian Tsar Peter the Great stayed in this world-famous house in the center of Zaandam.
