Visserijmuseum Zwartewaal: stories in a net warehouse
At the head of the harbour in Zwartewaal, the Visserijmuseum is housed in a former net warehouse. The building and the display bring together different sides of local fishing.
A building with a function
When you enter, pay attention to the building too. Its history as a net warehouse and sail loft fits the subject of the museum. See how the explanation about the building relates to the objects now on display.
Work and life on board
Ships, river fishing and life on board are the subjects of the visit. Objects are supplemented by film, sound and interactive features. Alternate between these ways of looking; each can make a different aspect of the same work understandable.
A branch by the harbour
The museum belongs to Historisch Museum Den Briel, but has its own visitor address in Zwartewaal. Regular opening is limited to weekend afternoons from April to October. Check public holidays separately, even when they fall within the season.
Before you go
The address is Bernissedijk 24 in Zwartewaal.
