Museum Schokland

The Museum Schokland occupies several historical buildings at Middelbuurt, presenting exhibits about water management and local archaeological discoveries through multiple galleries.

The museum stands on one of three remaining dwelling mounds of the former Zuiderzee island, which inhabitants evacuated due to rising water levels.

Museum Schokland presents artifacts spanning 10,000 years of human settlement, from prehistoric tools to remnants of maritime communities that shaped the region.

The museum operates from Tuesday to Sunday between April and October, with reduced hours from November to March, and remains closed on December 25 and January 1.

Archaeological excavations near the museum have uncovered over 160 distinct sites containing intact prehistoric earthenware, tools, and complete burial grounds beneath the surface.
