Visafslag Elburg: the clock at the centre

Museum Visafslag Elburg on the Havenkade focuses on fishing and the trade around it. The auction clock is the central object named for this small museum site.

Plan your visit ↗

A clock with a job to do

Ask how the clock was used within an auction. The explanation of bidding and selling makes the object easier to understand than just looking at the mechanism or the dial.

Fishing all around it

The museum description mentions various fishing implements. Ask to have it explained which parts belong to catching fish and which to trading them, so the different activities do not become confused with each other.

Explanations from volunteers

Volunteer attendants are mentioned as guides. Their presence can help deepen the visit; for a group, discuss in advance what tour and explanation are possible.

Before you go

Regular opening is limited to July and August. Outside those months, group appointments are mentioned; a walk along the harbour does not guarantee access to the museum.
