OosterscheldeMuseum: shellfish and drowned land

The OosterscheldeMuseum in Yerseke is temporarily housed in De Lepel on the Lepelstraat. The display covers oyster and mussel farming, lobster fishing and subjects relating to drowned land.

Plan your visit ↗

Farming and technique

See how the museum explains the work involved with shellfish. The combination of tasks and tools makes clear where the display focuses its attention, without requiring prior knowledge of the sector.

A film to complement it

The mussel film offers another way to follow the subject. Check the screening during your visit and connect what you see with the explanations in the exhibition.

Other stories around the water

Reimerswaal and drowned villages form a second way in. Take your time over that transition: fishing and drowned land belong to the same surroundings, but tell different stories.

Before you go

The former town hall is being renovated. Confirm the current location, opening times and accessibility; for groups, other visiting times can be arranged by agreement.
