Museum De Waag is the starting point for an introduction to Deventer, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands.

Based on masterpieces from the city's collection, spread over several floors in the oldest scales building in the Netherlands, we tell the rich history of our beautiful market, fortress and industrial city of Deventer.

Museum De Waag's collection includes paintings, drawings and prints, decorative and utilitarian objects, soil finds and architectural objects. In addition, the collection contains a very important collection of coins and medals that testify to Deventer's coinage.
