Ut Kunstige Vissers Ussien: Urk life above and below the floor
An interior from the 1940s and 1950s brings together net-work, a box bed, a paraffin stove and a hidden cellar.
Mending nets in the attic
The net loft shows the maintenance needed before fishing. Look at the mesh, needle and working posture, and ask how damage was found.
Compact living
The box bed and paraffin stove place resting and cooking close together. Compare the available space with the storage needs and movement of a fishing family.
Cellar as water source and hiding place
Beneath the kitchen lies a space with more than one function. Ask which structural traces support its use as a water source and a hiding cellar.
