A different maritime history
This museum looks not only at ships or voyages, but also at the surroundings of retired seafarers. The history of the Prins Hendrik Stichting gives the objects and the building a background of their own.
Stained glass as a story
The windows depict aspects of a sailor’s life. Give them deliberate attention alongside the other museum information. See which subjects you recognise and, on a guided tour, ask how they fit into the history of the foundation.
Visiting with consideration for residents
The museum is in a building that also serves as a care facility. So follow the instructions when you enter and be considerate of the other users. How exactly the first floor can be reached has not been described in detail; ask about it if it matters to you.
Before you go
If you have mobility questions, ask in advance about access to the upper floor, and book a guided tour separately.
