Biscuit factory Patria in Amsterdam can pride itself on having made the Rijksmuseum known to many Dutch families. Many will remember the large tin of biscuits - called “biscuits” in some parts of the country - with an image of the Rijksmuseum pressed into the lid, which was found on many living room tables in the 1950s.

At Patria biscuits, rusks and the famous crackers were made. In 1978 the Patria factory on the Haarlemmerweg was in the spotlight throughout the country. The women who worked there campaigned against the closure of the company. They even kept the factory occupied for a week. Ultimately, the factory closed. It was demolished in 1981.
