Lonely Planet review for Houseboat Museum

The offbeat Houseboat Museum is aboard a sailing barge (23m long by 4m wide) from 1914. The displays are rather minimal, but you’ll get a real feel for how cosy life can be on the water when you see the sleeping, living, cooking and dining quarters. In case you were wondering: houseboat toilets, until this century, could drain directly into the canals, but they now must hook up to the city sewerage system.
