Flora: beach finds and shipwreck stories on Texel

Schipbreuk- en Juttersmuseum Flora near De Koog collects beach finds and stories connected with the sea. Themed rooms, a discovery trail and a playground give the visit different forms.

What washes up?

A beach find quickly raises questions about where it came from and where it was going. See what explanation Flora gives for an object and what is known about it. The value of the visit lies not only in strange or large objects, but also in their background.

Stories behind the material

Shipwreck stories place finds in a wider context. As well as looking around, take time for those explanations. With children, a discovery trail can help them search with a purpose, without every room needing to be covered in equal detail.

An address near De Koog
