A collection about nature
Fossils, minerals and other natural-history objects form the museum’s subject. They offer different ways of looking at the earth and its past. Which parts will be on view after reopening has not been established.
A building on the dyke
Its location on the Waalbandijk makes the former dyke warehouse a recognisable place. It is precisely that setting that now matters for accessibility and opening. The announced raising of the dyke is a reason not to follow old visitor information.
Wait for current confirmation
The closure notice uses the words ‘this year’ without a clear year. As a result, it is not certain how long the arrangement applies. An old Sunday schedule does not resolve that uncertainty; have it confirmed directly first whether a visit is possible again.
Before you go
Do not assume the old Sunday hours. The temporary closure and reopening must first be confirmed.
