    Museummolen De Walvisch in Schiedam offers visitors an authentic Dutch windmill experience. The museum showcases the history of jenever (Dutch gin) production and the important role windmills played in this process. Visitors appreciate the well-preserved 18th-century windmill structure and the opportunity to climb to the top for panoramic views of Schiedam. The knowledgeable guides provide informative tours, explaining the milling process and the significance of windmills in Dutch culture. Some visitors note that the exhibit space is relatively small, which may limit the time spent inside. However, the hands-on demonstrations and the chance to see the mill in action are highlights for many. The museum's location in Schiedam's historic center adds to its charm, though some find the admission price a bit high for the size of the attraction. Overall, Museummolen De Walvisch provides an educational and culturally rich experience, particularly appealing to those interested in Dutch industrial heritage and traditional engineering.
