Every year the MuzeeAquarium organises at least three temporary exhibitions, each highlighting a theme from its varied collection. Exhibition texts are in Dutch.
Now on, until 17 May 2027
Zij hielden koers – Sailing for freedom
Our largest exhibition so far tells the story of the merchant navy in the Second World War, with the stories of ships and sailors from Delfzijl and Groningen. The exhibition was lent in full by the Stichting Koopvaardijpersoneel 1940-1945 from Katwijk.
Groningen coasters and their crews played an important part in Allied operations such as Dynamo (the evacuation of Dunkirk) and Neptune (the Normandy landings). In the database you can look up a ship or a crew member by name.
