Waterliniemuseum: water as a means of defence

The Waterliniemuseum at Fort bij Vechten in Bunnik covers the Dutch Water Defence Lines. The exhibition Sterk Water and an interactive scale model are mentioned as parts of the visit.

Plan your visit ↗

Making a system visible

The scale model offers a way into the connection between water and defence. Ask what actions are possible, and use the explanation to understand the relationship between landscape and technology.

A virtual experience

A VR activity is mentioned in the programme. Check availability and conditions if you want to take part; a virtual experience adds to the exhibition, it does not replace the historical explanation.

A Roman subject outside

Castellum Fectio forms a separate outdoor element. Set aside your own time for it, and ask how to follow the right route from the museum, especially if you want to combine both subjects.

Before you go

Check for closures due to private events. For mobility questions, discuss both the museum route and the outdoor grounds, even though the museum is described as wheelchair accessible.
