GeoFort, Science museum in Herwijnen, Netherlands.

GeoFort is a science museum located on an island site, featuring interactive exhibits about Earth and its processes. The collection includes a 4D globe model and various experiments demonstrating environmental phenomena and natural forces.

The site was once part of the New Dutch Water Line, a defense system established in the 17th century. This historical fortress location was later transformed into a center for science education.

The place teaches people about environmental concerns and shows how technology connects with natural sciences. Visitors see how communities today understand and address sustainability and climate issues.

The museum is accessible via paths and bridges, with multiple levels and different exhibition areas. It is wise to wear comfortable shoes since exploring the site involves considerable walking.

In specialized tunnels, visitors deliberately experience disorientation and learn through hands-on trials how navigation works. This spatial orientation chamber is an unforgettable highlight that shows how our brain processes direction and space.
