The museum, located at Spui Street in central Edam, is in a traditional Dutch house from the 17th century. Inside, you'll find numerous screens and interactive elements that explain the origins and evolution of Edam cheese.

You can take a selfie with the iconic round and orange Edam cheeses stored on long shelves along the walls. During your visit, you'll learn how to preserve these dairy products to maintain their smell and taste.
