ZeeuwsFruitMuseum: from blossom to auction
The ZeeuwsFruitMuseum in Kapelle presents fruit growing. The former horticultural school houses an exhibition, an open store and a museum garden.
Following a growing cycle
Blossom, growth, harvest and pruning together form a route through the subject. Choose one stage and see what knowledge or work goes with it. The history of horticultural education adds the question of how people learned the trade.
Fruit gets a price
A historic auction clock with benches makes the selling side visible. With the interactive auctioning you can discover the principle in a different way than just by reading. Ask when and how this part can be used during your visit.
Looking further outside
In the museum garden you will find different varieties and tree forms. What you see changes with the seasons, as does the museum’s weekly schedule. In winter there are fewer visiting days and different hours than in summer.
