Museum Loodswezen still sails without a permanent home

Museum Loodswezen tells the story of Texel pilots through temporary exhibitions and storytelling sessions. There is no permanent museum building; current access to the host venue in Oosterend must be confirmed first.

Plan your visit ↗

A pilot knows water and ship

Charts, instruments and stories can show how a pilot reads local channels. Choose one route and ask which risks, tides and landmarks are decisive.

Temporary gallery

The foundation has no museum building of its own. The exhibition Loods Streken uses a host venue; outside its run there is no open public access.

Confirm your visit date first

Different years and hours are circulating for Loods Streken. Ask the foundation or the Strender Vermaning which exhibition is currently open and on which days you can visit. Only set off once your visit time has been confirmed.

Before you go

The exhibition dates and hours for 2026 have not been confirmed directly. Ask the foundation about the current opening before you set off; the host venue has no lift.
