Maas Binnenvaartmuseum: a harbour story to scale

The Maas Binnenvaartmuseum in Maasbracht covers inland shipping, harbour life and the Meuse. Ship models, scale models and a wheelhouse offer different ways of looking at technology and surroundings.

Plan your visit ↗

Reading a scale model

The Schepenkerkhof (Ships’ Graveyard) and Kolentip (Coal Tip) scale models deal with specific subjects. Read their explanation before following the details, so it is clear which situation the scale representation depicts.

Another view from the wheelhouse

The wheelhouse and simulator are mentioned as features. Ask what is available during your visit and how an activity ties in with the explanation about navigation and harbour use.

To the museum harbour

The tjalk Nooit Volmaakt adds an outdoor element. Seeing a ship moored in the harbour does not mean you can always go on board; check that route separately.

Before you go

Groups and boat trips must be booked in advance. Ask about access to the basement, harbour and ship; the various parts do not necessarily have the same accessibility.
