The Dutch Pinball Museum is a museum in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.[1] The museum is home to more than 130 different pinball machines ranging from 1930 to today[2] and also includes a rare toupie hollandaise table from the year 1853.[3]
The museum originated out of a private collection of founder Gerard van de Sanden. The museum opened on 29 August 2015 but was officially opened by former Dutch Finance Minister Gerrit Zalm on 26 November 2015.[4] [1] The museum opened on the Paul Nijghkade in Katendrecht,[5] but later moved to the Dubbele Palmboom in Delfshaven.[6] [7]
The collection consists of 31 electromechanical pinball machines, 43 Solid State pinball machines, and 60 Dot-Matrix pinball machines, as well as an original toupie hollandaise from 1853,[3] which is seen as the predecessor of pinball. All machines made before 1960 are on display. The other machines can be played.
