Architecture tour

Open Monumentendag - "In good hands". Architecture walk in and around the NAVIGO Visserijmuseum Op Sunday, September 13, the NAVIGO Fisheries Museum is participating in Open Monumentendag, this year around the theme 'In good hands'. A theme that fits perfectly with a museum where heritage is not only preserved, but also comes to life. Discover during a fascinating architecture walk how past and future meet. Walk across the museum square, the honorary square and along the fishermen's chapel, admire the award-winning new museum wing where the impressive skeleton of sperm whale Valentijn floats, and experience how architecture, heritage and stories flow seamlessly into each other. Exceptional places also open their doors behind the scenes. Visit the brand-new museum depot where the valuable fishing heritage is carefully preserved, and take a look in the museum kitchen, where the knowledge and traditions of fish preparation are passed on to a wide audience.
