Zuiderzeemuseum, Maritime and history museum in Enkhuizen, Netherlands
The Zuiderzeemuseum contains both indoor exhibitions with maritime artifacts and an outdoor section featuring reconstructed traditional buildings from the Zuiderzee region.
Following the closure of Zuiderzee by Afsluitdijk barrier in 1932, the museum opened in 1950 to preserve the maritime heritage of this former saltwater inlet.
Traditional craftsmen demonstrate historical techniques including rope making, ship smithing, and fish smoking throughout the museum's authentic workshops and buildings.
The museum provides guided tours in multiple languages, educational programs for children, and maintains several restaurants located within National Heritage structures.
Visitors experience life from former Zuiderzee communities through a collection of relocated original buildings, including a working windmill, lime kilns, and steam laundry.
