The scale model gives an overview
Use the interactive model of the Rijkswerf (naval dockyard) to place buildings, water and workshops. Then compare one part with what is still visible outside.
Dry dock with a guide
A guided tour takes you through the passages of Droogdok Jan Blanken. Ask the guide how the dock was used. Check the time slot and follow the safety instructions.
The depot has its own rhythm
The free visitor depot at Industriehaven 8a opens only on Wednesday and Thursday. Treat it as a separate location, not as a continuation of the museum galleries.
Before you go
The Museumloods is open Wednesday–Sunday 11.00–17.00. Guided tours of the dry dock are listed at 11.00 and 14.00, but the page still refers to 2025 for these; confirm the time slot. The depot opens Wednesday and Thursday 10.00–15.00.
