The Zaanse Time Museum (Dutch: Museum Zaanse Tijd) is a clock museum located in the Zaanse Schans in the North Holland municipality of Zaanstad.[2]
The museum was founded at the initiative of the municipality of Zaandam and opened by Prince Claus on 3 February 1976. In 1985, it was threatened with closure but saved through fundraising and the establishment of the Zaans Uurwerken Museum Foundation.
