What to do and see in Haarlem, North Holland Province: The Best Monuments & Statues
August 17, 2021 Moriah Teneyck
Though often overshadowed (especially for tourists) by its much larger and more famous neighbor Amsterdam about ten miles east, Haarlem’s history actually goes back further. And with about 150,000 people, it’s the capital of the Noord-Holland region. The Teylers Museum, with its unique collection of art and artifacts, is the oldest museum in the Netherlands. The fantastic Frans Hals Museum has many works by the artist and other Haarlem schoolers. Grote Markt, the main town square, is a must-see.

A great statue of an important man. He invented the printing press, they say. At school I always learned that Gutenberg invented the printing press.
