An authentic fisherman’s cottage
The cottage places clothing and household goods in a small living space. Look at sleeping, cooking and storage, and ask which furnishings are original or reconstructed.
Papercutting and art
Work by Ernst Leyden and Jantje de Knipper gives individual makers a place. Compare the material, subject and connection with Urk before classifying it as folk art.
Diving with VR
The experience takes you to a Zuiderzee wreck. Use the virtual reconstruction to understand its position and scale, and distinguish evidence found on site from digitally added imagery.
Before you go
The institution now also uses the name Museum Urk. Secondary sources give different seasonal hours; the venue’s own visitor page has been followed.
