Zee- en Havenmuseum IJmuiden: working on the water

The IJmuider Zee- en Havenmuseum combines fishing, towage and stories about the Noordzeekanaal (North Sea Canal). The museum is housed in the former Visserijschool (Fisheries School) on the Havenkade.

Plan your visit ↗

A port has different tasks

Fishing and towage are different kinds of work. Look at which tools, images or stories the display links to each task, so that the wider maritime world becomes easier to grasp.

Explanations at your own pace

An audio tour is mentioned as part of what is on offer. It can help you follow the route and linger over a subject, without spending the same amount of time in every room.

For children and researchers

Treasure hunts and a maritime library offer other ways in. Targeted use of the library may require preparation; you can check whether a treasure hunt is available when you arrive.

Before you go

The schedule is extended during the school holidays of the North region. Check the right period and reserve a wheelchair or rollator in advance if you need one.
