Protecting the land
The dyke display offers a way into the relationship between the village and the coast. Use the explanations to follow which works and changes the museum addresses.
Residents and war
The war display places different emphases from the technical story of the dyke. Take time for personal perspectives and the context given with the material, including remains of landing craft.
Plan the lighthouses separately
The lighthouses ’t Hoge and Lage Licht have their own opening hours and admission. A museum ticket or an open café does not mean that a lighthouse can be visited at the same time.
Before you go
There is no reliable fixed daily timetable. Check the chosen time slot, any closure and the accessibility of each part; the museum mentions a lift and an adapted toilet.
