Historisch Genootschap Wieringermeer: the polder in images and archives

The Historisch Genootschap Wieringermeer in De Cultuurschuur keeps material about the creation and development of the polder. Exhibitions and the archive offer different ways to visit.

Plan your visit ↗

Following a polder story

Photographs, sound and objects form part of the collection. See how the display links the development of the Wieringermeer to specific places and people. A map or photograph can be a good starting point for further questions.

A focused research question

The archive also holds regional publications and newspaper material. If you are looking for something about an address, event or family, you can indicate in advance what you need. That is a different kind of visit from browsing an exhibition.

Saturday at De Cultuurschuur

The regular opening is on Saturday afternoon and admission is free. The contact page gives an earlier closing time than some other listings. So do not plan on an unconfirmed last half-hour; groups arrange their visit in advance.

Before you go

For Saturday, assume 14.00–16.30 and discuss more extensive archive research in advance.
