Nederlands Watermuseum
Source

The Nederlands Watermuseum is housed in the former ‘Bagijnemolen’. It is an interactive museum that covers everything related to water in the Netherlands, but also in the rest of the world. More than fifty presentations illustrate how the sewer system works, how much water the human body consists of and how pumping stations prevent flooding. Topics that are covered include water, dam management, groundwater and water usage. Visitors can also do experiments with water.

    Matig. Het is duidelijk een museum wat meer voor kinderen bedoeld is. Zoals zo vaak in een "interactief museum" is een aanzienlijk deel van de te bedienen objecten onklaar en er ontbreekt eigenlijk ook een duidelijke lijn. Er is veel meer te vertellen en te laten zien over een zó breed onderwerp. Veel dingen zijn op ooghoogte voor kleuters, zodat je als volwassene met rugpijn weer buiten komt. Ook instructie zou op een aantal plekken duidelijker mogen zijn.
