Cycled out, hungry for knowledge or too cold outside? Visit one of the museums in Woudrichem, Wijk en Aalburg, Veen or the Biesbosch.
De Biesbosch is a natural area with a long cultural history. For years, people fought the water there, and made their living harvesting reeds and willows. But the area has also been de-poldered, and given back to nature.
The Biesbosch MuseumEiland tells you all about the past, present and future of this unique freshwater tidal area.
For opening hours and visitor information, consult the MuseumEiland site.
The Oorlogsmuseum in Veen organizes Battlefield Tours where you go in search of remnants of World War II. During this tour, you will visit special locations where a lot happened in the past.
Immerse yourself in the stories of the respective location with historical photos and real objects from the past. An extraordinary experience!
Information about the Battlefield Tour can be found here.
A group of enthusiastic locals wanted to preserve this history, and began collecting information and materials about river fishing in Woerkum. This collection can be viewed at the Fisheries and Cultural History Museum in Woudrichem.
But there is more to see. Not only does the museum provide an almost complete overview of Dutch river fishing, but the culture of the region is also featured.
Furthermore, the museum is committed to keeping old crafts alive. It therefore organizes courses in sail-making, basket-making and net-knitting, among others.
Het Visserijmuseum is open from April to October. Outside of that for groups by appointment. Current opening hours and further information can be found on the museum's site.
The "Kevermuseum," as it is popularly known, provides an overview of the history of the Air-Cooled Volkswagen and connects this history to what was happening in the world during the same period. More than a car museum, in other words.
The museum is an initiative of André van Wijlen beetle parts v.o.f.
Visitor information and opening hours can be found on the museum's website.
