Holland Museum in Holland, Michigan is a local historical museum. Located in a landmark, neo-clasical former Post Office building next to Centennial Park. The Holland Museum also owns and operates two historic house museums: the Cappon House Settlers House Museums.[citation needed]
The Holland Museum features, on its main floor, permanent exhibits on Holland’s history "From Settlement to City," reflecting Holland's diverse history and multi-ethnic population. Temporary and traveling exhibits are shown in the Wichers Gallery. The new Dutch Galleries, emcompassing the second floor, feature 600 years of Dutch art and culture: 17th-19th century paintings, fine furniture, delftware and silver to original Dutch costumes. The Archives and Research Library on the lower level houses the museum's collection of books, papers and photographs related to Holland's history. - The Cappon & Settlers House Museums, a few blocks to the west, tell the story of Holland’s early settlers with the beautifully preserved and restored living environments of a common worker’s family and that of Holland’s first mayor.[citation needed]
