What is the history of the building where the museum is located?
The Dutch Pinball Museum is a museum in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in a historic part of the city called Delfshaven. The museum is located in the Dubbelde Palmboom, a historic building with a rich past. The building was built in 1825 and has had various uses since then. From serving as a distillery since 1861 to functioning as a crate factory from 1910, the building became part of the Rotterdam Museum in 1975 after being empty for a long time. It became empty again in 2012, finding a new purpose when the museum moved into the premises in 2020.
