We would like to congratulate Joke and Bert Timmermans on the 25th anniversary of the ‘Dè wascht en strèkt’ museum in Gilze.
No one can talk about washing and ironing as engagingly and authentically as Joke. And every time she tells the story, it’s as if it were the first time. Because she is still just as passionate as she was when she first started collecting everything to do with washing and ironing. Find out more about the ‘Dè wascht en strèkt’ museum. We wish Joke and Bert every success in the years to come!
