The Lutine experience
The display covers the ship that sank in 1799 and the story of the gold on board. Note the difference between documented event, recovered material and later depiction; each requires different evidence.
A replica Behouden Huys
The museum garden holds a reconstruction of the winter shelter associated with Willem Barentsz. See its construction, available space and materials as an explanatory model, not as the original building or a complete copy.
The little orange
A story about an orange from the Second World War brings great history down to a small object. Read exactly what is stated about origin and event, and which parts are personal memory.
Before you go
