Jan Lont: farming and fishing life on Wieringen
The Wieringer Eilandmuseum Jan Lont in Hippolytushoef uses a farmhouse as the setting for the regional story. Farming life and fishing are named side by side as subjects.
A farmhouse with a story
The name Jan Lont links the museum to a resident. See how the presentation brings together the house and the objects, and which explanations distinguish between personal history and the wider regional picture.
Looking to the water too
The fishing theme offers a different perspective from agriculture. The combination leaves room for different forms of work and livelihood on Wieringen, without treating them as a single experience.
A current exhibition
Additional exhibitions are mentioned alongside the permanent subject.
Divide your attention between the farmhouse setting and the fishing story.
Before you go
The regular visiting days are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with shorter winter hours. An appointment is needed for other days; discuss access to the farmhouse in advance.
