Museum

The Old Holland production process has not changed much since 1664. Pigments and tools have improved over the ages thanks to technological developments. An evolution that has allowed us to accumulate the world’s largest collection of pigments and tools. Take a look at some showpieces.

Demonstrations

We will show you how the apprentices of the painters’ guilds used to make their own paint.

Pigments

Old Holland is the proud owner of the largest pigment collection in the world. They come from all corners of the world and are of all times. The production of some pigments is now prohibited. Other classic pigments are still used at Old Holland.

Pigments

Pigments are obtained from very diverse raw materials. Would you like an example? Painters used to obtain the pigment ‘Indian Yellow’ from a ‘ball’ of cow’s urine.
