About the museum
Fifty centuries on the edge of land and sea
The MuzeeAquarium tells the story of five thousand years of living and working on the border of land and sea. It is a unique combination of natural history, cultural history and a sea aquarium with fish and other animals from the Wadden Sea and the North Sea.
Admire our shell collection, step into the world of the sailing ships and meet the northernmost hunebed (dolmen) of the Netherlands. Since its renovation in 2018 the museum is a modern and surprising day out for young and old.
