Biesbosch Museum, Museum of wetland ecology in Werkendam, Netherlands.
The Biesbosch Museum features seven themed pavilions that present exhibits about water management, local wildlife, and environmental conservation in the river delta region.
Established in 1994, the museum documents the transformation of the landscape following the Sint Elisabethsvloed flood of 1421, which created the current freshwater tidal area.
The museum exhibits demonstrate traditional willow cultivation methods and water management techniques that shaped the lives of local communities through generations.
The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00 and Sundays from 11:00 to 17:00, with wheelchair access throughout the facilities.
Eight hectares of active osier beds surround the museum, maintaining the traditional willow cultivation practices specific to this marshy region.
