Looking at a painted coast
See which subjects an artist chooses and how people or landscape are depicted. Then read the explanation. That way you can appreciate a painting as a work of art and also ask questions about the image it gives of Katwijk.
Adding the local story
Fishing and coastal history offer a different perspective from the artists’ story. Compare the information on objects with what you see in the pictures. Temporary exhibitions may give this combination a different emphasis each time.
Reaching the floors
The museum mentions threshold ramps, a lift and a stairlift. If you have specific mobility needs, ask which route suits you best. On Sunday it opens later and many public holidays are closing days; a normal weekly plan is then not enough.
Before you go
Check the list of public holidays and, if you will use the stairlift, discuss the route in advance.
