Museum Scheldewerf: the shipyard as a starting point

Museum Scheldewerf in Vlissingen focuses on shipbuilding at De Schelde. Ship models, maritime art and film offer different ways to approach the subject, alongside the steam crane.

Plan your visit ↗

A ship to scale

A model lets you look at proportions and shapes that are harder to take in on a large ship. Read what explanation the museum gives about the vessel on display.

More than engineering

Delft Blue and maritime art broaden the display. See how these elements are linked to the shipyard story and which other side of the shipbuilding world they reveal.

The steam crane

Explanations are often available at the crane on Friday afternoons, but this is not guaranteed for every visit. Ask about access in advance if this part matters to you.

Before you go

Check the crane opening, group arrangements and any access to the upstairs hall. The museum mentions a stairlift; discuss in advance whether it suits your access needs.
