Katwijks Museum, Maritime heritage museum in Katwijk, Netherlands

The Katwijks Museum occupies a former shipping office building featuring collections of ship models, fishing tools, and traditional costumes from 1600 to 1950.

The museum building, designed by architect Hendrik Jesse in 1912, served as a shipping office before its transformation into a cultural institution in 1983.

The museum exhibits paintings from Dutch and international artists who lived in the region, including works by Thamine Tadama-Groeneveld and Hendrik Willebrord Jansen.

Located at Voorstraat 46 in central Katwijk, the museum maintains regular exhibitions and provides educational programs about local maritime traditions throughout the year.

The Bottema Room on the first floor contains an extensive collection of artworks from the Bottema family, whose legacy enabled the museum establishment.
