Watersnoodmuseum – Nationaal Kennis- en Herinneringscentrum Watersnood 1953 - Watersnoodmuseum.nl

Nederland heeft de afgelopen tweeduizend jaar vaak met overstromingen te maken gehad. Het woord ‘Nederland’ zegt het al. ‘Neder’ betekent ‘laag’. Als er een storm opsteekt en het zeewater wordt opgezweept, dan kan de kust van het laagland overstromen.

Great museum. This museum not only tells the tale of the flood of 1953, but also highlights the constant danger of water and the impact of climate change. It combines traditional and modern techniques to create an interesting experience for both young and old visitors

Really nice museum, constructed inside ....., Well you'll find that out when you get there I won't spoil it, the surrounding area is incredibly beautiful so if you can bring your bike and go see the country side.

Very interesting. Interactive exhibits for kids. Lots of history. Beautiful drive to get there. You can walk along the dike where the museum is. And the cafe is nice. A view of the sea.

If you are interested in the subject of this museum - which is not a pleasant one - this is a must-go. It is one of the best museums I have been to. Highly recommended. Thank you so much for having us, including our dog who was supposed to sit in a pram but wasn’t having it and was allowed to come in anyway.

Very interesting museum about the flood in the 1950s and the impact it had. Well done. Nice excursion with older kids 8+ Next to visiting the museum, there are also some hiking routes ( smallest one is around 2.5 km).

From outside looks like a small museum, even after entering it looks like a small one. Then further you walk more new rooms you will discover at the end most probbaly you will be suprised just like I was how big the place is. They have a lot of materials collected from the big flood lot of videos and news papers and objects from that time. It was also nice to see that it was not only abou the flood itself but also showed that time how people lived what did they used, I loved that they even set up a house built in that era. They have some more and some not so interesting interactive "games" in the last room, definitelly it was refresing. Since I do not speak the language unfortu atelly I could not enjoy everything 100%. Some videos were not even subtitled also some older information table was not in english. But I could see that all new room has translated tables and all information are there in english and german too. So overall I loved it. It was informative, also interactive and also eye opening. So recommended! :) (I havent seen any tables that pictures can not be made but if thats the case please let me know I will remove them)
