Helders Museum: the story of Den Helder as a town

The Helders Museum in the Paviljoen van Toen tells the history of Den Helder. The interactive presentation ‘Den Helder, wad een stad!’ offers an accessible way in.

Plan your visit ↗

Getting to know a town better

Start with a place or subject you recognise and see what background the presentation adds. For visitors from elsewhere, an unfamiliar part can be a good starting point. The town’s history ties the different parts together.

Interaction with attention

An interactive exhibition invites you to try things out, but also take time for the information around it. Discuss with your group what a particular part shows about Den Helder. That way it is not just about an action or a screen.

Practical information on Borneolaan

The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible and has parking. Payment is contactless. At weekends the museum opens later than on weekdays; there may be changes in the low season and during holidays. Groups can also ask for an appointment on a closed day.

Before you go

Bring a contactless means of payment and check for any winter or holiday changes.
