Overview and detail
A ship model lets you see a vessel as a whole; a nautical instrument, by contrast, prompts a focused question about its use. Alternate between these levels of scale. Maritime paintings and maps add yet other ways of depicting.
Trade and a famous resident
The collection also includes trade coins and gives attention to Jacob Cats, who was born in Brouwershaven. See these subjects as different sides of the town. The available audio tour can help you follow the connections between the parts.
An afternoon by the harbour
The museum is on Haven Zuidzijde. The regular opening is on Wednesday to Saturday afternoons. Group appointments are possible all year round; you will find extra openings around events in the current calendar.
Before you go
Check the current afternoon timetable; arrange a group visit in advance.
