About Waag, Oudewater
De komende jaren worden spannend voor het personeel van het Museum De Heksenwaag in Oudewater, want het museum moet tijdens die tijd bewijzen dat het in aanmerking komt voor een plaats op de Unesco-Werelderfgoedlijst. Op de Heksenwaag werden vroeger mensen gewogen om zo te ontdekken of zij wel of niet een heks waren. Mensen met een normaal gewicht kregen daarna een certificaat mee naar huis dat bewees dat zij een normaal gewicht hadden, niet met de Duivel samenwerkten en dus geen heks konden zijn.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cute and fun museum. The upstairs has a video and a few displays in an atmospheric attic. Getting weighed and getting the certificate stating you're not a witch was the highlight of my day! Super friendly person was staffing the day we went.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great museum on the history of the persecution of "witches" in historical times. The building itself is lovely and the highlight is you get to step onto the original scales for the 1500's and receive an official letter if you are a witch or not. It's a fun and interesting time in a very cute dutch town. Highly recommend.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cute little museum with very friendly staff. The audio visual presentation is brilliantly made and the books present are a great little collection. For many, the weighing experience is fun and the stories are nice. It's very small though.
