Museum ’t Fiskershúske: fishing life between cottage and aak

In Moddergat, the museum consists of several fishermen’s cottages and exhibition spaces. The story therefore moves from a furnished home to fishing, rescue work and temporary art.

Living in a fisherman’s cottage

The oldest cottage is linked with furnishings from around 1850; Klaske’s Húske shows a later period. Compare sleeping place, cooking area and available space to recognise changes in daily living.

Vissers van Wad en Gat

In De Aek, the focus is on models, tools, the lifeboat service and the storm disaster of 1883. Start with the working equipment before you read the story of the disaster; that gives the danger a concrete occupational context.

Before you go

Despite the general accessibility, large electric wheelchairs may run into problems. Sunday hours apply only in June, July and August and are subject to change.
