Museum Schokland has 2 ratings.
Museum Schokland offers visitors an insightful look into the history of Schokland, a former island in the Zuiderzee that is now part of the mainland. The museum presents the geological, archaeological, and cultural history of the area through various exhibits and artifacts. Visitors appreciate the well-organized displays that cover the struggles of the inhabitants against the sea and the eventual evacuation of the island in 1859. The outdoor area, including the lighthouse and the reconstructed terp houses, provides a tangible connection to the past. However, some visitors note that the information provided could be more extensive, especially for non-Dutch speakers. The museum's location in a UNESCO World Heritage site adds to its appeal, but some find the remote location challenging to access without a car. Overall, Museum Schokland offers a solid educational experience about a unique piece of Dutch history, though it may not cater equally to all international visitors.
We hebben hier een fam.dag gehad. Top verzorgd in het restaurant! Met name Shanna heeft onze dag super leuk en goed begeleidt! Het eten was heerlijk en meer dan genoeg. We komen vast en zeker nog een keer terug.
