Zeeuws Museum, Regional museum in Middelburg, Netherlands.
The Zeeuws Museum is a regional museum housed within the medieval halls of Middelburg Abbey. The collection holds local artifacts, traditional garments, and decorative objects that reflect the area's heritage.
The museum opened in 1972 as the primary institution dedicated to preserving Zeeland's cultural heritage. Since its founding, it has served as the main repository for documenting the region's historical development.
The collection displays tapestries from the 16th century showing naval battles, reflecting how the sea shaped the region's identity. These works reveal the deep connection between maritime life and local culture throughout Zeeland's history.
The museum sits in the heart of Middelburg at Abdijplein and is easily accessible from the city center. Allow time to wander through the medieval rooms, as the layout encourages leisurely exploration of each gallery.
The museum won the Council of Europe Museum Prize in 2009 for its contributions to understanding European cultural heritage. This award recognized the institution's commitment to documenting local traditions and crafts for future generations.
