Museumhaven Zutphen: viewing ships from the jetties

Museumhaven Zutphen on the Houthaven brings together historic inland shipping vessels. An ordinary visit consists of viewing from the jetties; boarding a ship requires permission.

Plan your visit ↗

A ship as a lived-in space

Some of the ships are lived in. So respect the boundary between the public jetty and private space, even when a vessel is part of the museum harbour’s collection.

Shapes on the water

Look at differences in hull, superstructure and fitting-out from the accessible spots. During an open day, ask about the functions behind those differences, rather than drawing conclusions from appearance alone.

Extra explanation on open days

Demonstrations and stories are mentioned during special openings. Such a day can offer more than a visit on your own, but has its own programme and date.

Before you go

The jetties can be visited daily from the stated morning time; a closing time has not been confirmed. Discuss accessibility in advance and only board ships with permission.
