Biesbosch MuseumEiland: living with water

The Biesbosch MuseumEiland in Werkendam links cultural history, nature and water management. The subject is not only the landscape, but also how people live there and deal with it.

Plan your visit ↗

Water as a common thread

Start with a question about the relationship between people and water. How is the area used, and which choices are explained in the displays? By following one question, you can connect different parts of the museum.

Inside and outside

The island location invites you to compare the story indoors with the surroundings. A boat trip can extend your visit, but is a separate activity with its own times and availability. Check these before you fix how long you will spend at the museum.

Seasonal difference on Mondays

In the main season Monday is a visiting day, whereas the winter schedule differs. Opening times also differ between weekdays and weekends. Check the current table for your date and ask about the accessibility of any outdoor or boat-trip elements.

Before you go

Check the seasonal schedule and any boat trip separately; online museum tickets may be cheaper.
