Stories from around the Zuiderzee sea

This arrangement starts in the Kollum village school where you will actually learn to write as they used to in the past. After the teacher's explanation and some examples on the blackboard, you will take up the dip pen and start writing yourself. After a little bit of practice, you may show your calligraphic efforts to the teacher. Only neat and tidy work will be rewarded with a stamp...

Before the school bell rings for lunch! A delicious lunch buffet will be ready for you at the museum restaurant, with a wide range of dishes to choose from. Afterwards, you will have plenty of time to explore the museum at your own leisure. Walk back in time through the cobbled streets of the outdoor museum. Over one hundred and forty historic buildings from villages by the former Zuiderzee sea were re-erected here to form an entire town. Meet the inhabitants of Urk island, visit the cheese warehouse and watch the smith forge iron. Do you know why there was such an institution as an agricultural loan bank? Come and find out! Meanwhile, do not miss the contemporary design presentations inspired by the past.
