The Vleeshal is a historical building dating from 1603 on the Grote Markt in Haarlem, the Netherlands.
Vleeshal means meat-hall, as it was the only place in Haarlem where fresh meat was allowed to be sold from 1604 to the 18th century; salted meat was instead sold in the Warmoesstraat, the street next to the building.
It was designed in renaissance style by Lieven de Key.
The new building was a prestigious project; expensive materials and a beautiful design were used.
The entrance to that museum is through the small door on the left leading down into the cellar.
