Zuiderzeemuseum outdoor, Open-air museum in Enkhuizen, Netherlands
The Zuiderzeemuseum outdoor section spans several hectares along the waterfront, featuring relocated historic buildings that represent traditional Dutch coastal settlements.
Following a fishing exhibition in 1930, the museum concept took shape, but World War II delayed its development until Queen Beatrix officially opened it in 1983.
The museum preserves maritime traditions through demonstrations of rope-making, cooperage, and fish smoking techniques that were essential to the Zuiderzee communities.
The outdoor museum operates from Easter until late October, with daily hours from 10 AM to 5 PM, offering ferry connections between indoor and outdoor sections.
Visitors participate in role-playing activities set in 1905, experiencing daily life in reconstructed buildings transported from various Zuiderzee coastal locations.
