How Het Bildt came into being
The archaeological centre covers dyke building and the salt-marsh landscape. Look at maps and finds with the question of how land, water and human intervention influenced each other; that immediately gives the surroundings outside more meaning.
Changing art
Regional artists show work in temporary group exhibitions. Because the line-up changes, the calendar is part of your preparation. In the gallery, look for a work that responds to landscape, village or the Wadden.
Church and butterfly garden
The Julianakerk and the butterfly garden offer visitors two distinctive spaces. Take the transition seriously: in the church, architecture and silence play a part; outside, season and weather determine how many butterflies or flowering plants you see.
