Brusea: mussel fishing and a fisherman’s house

Brusea in Bruinisse combines a Visserijmuseum (fishing museum) with 't Vissersuusje. Via the inner garden you connect a display about work on and around the water with a historic house.

Plan your visit ↗

Understanding mussel farming

The fishing display covers mussel farming, fishing and innovations in the work. Start with the explanation of a task or a tool. That gives another side to a subject you may know mainly from your plate.

From work to home

In 't Vissersuusje the focus shifts to fishing life in a home. Do not see this part as an extra room on the same subject, but as a different scale of storytelling. The Watersnoodramp (Flood Disaster) also receives attention within Brusea.

Season and accessibility

In 2026 the museum is open from 7 April to 31 October. The historic house has thresholds and narrow passages, so its accessibility differs from that of the Visserijmuseum. Activities such as tastings have their own dates and are not available on every visit.

Before you go

Check the season and the activities calendar. Discuss the accessibility of both parts if that matters for your visit.
