Inside a farmhouse
Look not only at individual objects but also at their place within the room. Which actions does the explanation draw attention to? The museum tells the story of earlier Giethoorn, giving context to a building that would otherwise remain mainly an attractive façade.
The water close by
The fisherman’s cottage and the boathouse connect living with the water. Ask how the presentation explains the use of a boat. The stories about peat extraction and local customs offer different points of entry here.
Listening and looking back
An audio tour is part of the visitor offering described. Choose one story that you want to explore further outside afterwards. Anyone who wants to know more can also use the image archive of photos and documents to follow changes in the village.
Before you go
Check the winter schedule and the holiday periods; groups can also arrange a visit by appointment outside regular hours.
