The archive site is not a way in
The old website documents the earlier history but does not offer a current museum visit. Use it for context and follow Museum Vlaardingen for practical information.
Balder was preserved
The lugger is a centrepiece of the fishing heritage but has limited openings of its own. Check the calendar before you expect access to the ship.
The collection gained a new framework
Objects relating to fishing are now shown alongside broader local and art history. Ask in which exhibition the subject you are looking for features.
Before you go
No longer a separate museum under this name. The current successor is Museum Vlaardingen at Westhavenkade 54, usually Tuesday–Saturday 10.00–17.00 and Sunday 12.00–17.00. Check its public holidays and Balder calendar; do not use the archive site as a current source of practical information.
