The Edams Museum's furnishings, porcelain and silverware spread over three cramped floors. Its floating cellar is a remarkable pantry that rises and falls with the river's swell to reduce stress on the structure above. The ornate 1540 brick building is Edam's oldest. Across the canal in an annex in the 1737 town hall, above the tourist office, you'll find more exhibits; among some famous paintings there is an unknown artist's Tall Girl, depicting an 8' 4'' girl (allegedly the tallest woman ever born).
