Wrakkenmuseum: objects from the sea in Formerum
The Wrakkenmuseum on Terschelling describes a collection of ships’ fittings raised by divers and beach finds. In the farmhouse and the museum garden, small everyday objects and large ship parts come together.
Every find has an origin
An object from the sea immediately raises questions about its use and where it was found. Read how the museum brings this information together. Recognising a bottle or a piece of ship’s equipment is a start; the explanation makes clear which story is linked to it.
Diving as a subject
The museum mentions a display about helmet divers at the wreck of the Lutine. This shifts the attention from the material found to the way it is searched for and salvaged.
Large objects outdoors
Anchors, cannons and a submarine conning tower are among the things mentioned in the garden. According to the organisation, there is also a pirate playground behind the museum.
Link a find indoors with the explanation about diving or salvage.
Before you go
Confirm the closing time and the Tuesday closure outside the holidays. The museum’s own site only mentions opening from ten o’clock.
