Zeezendermuseum: radio ships on a small scale

The Zeezendermuseum in Alkmaar shows scale models of offshore radio ships. It is part of the museum complex on the Pettemerstraat, together with the Beatles Museum and other media subjects.

Plan your visit ↗

A ship as a broadcaster

The models refer to names such as Radio Veronica, Mi Amigo and Noordzee. Look at how the ships are constructed and read the background provided. That way well-known radio names take on a physical form instead of just a place in memory.

Model-making as a way of looking

The models were made by Hans Hettelder. Notice the small details that make a ship recognisable. Ask about the function of a part on the original ship and distinguish model information from the wider radio story.

Part of a complex

There is no separately confirmed daily timetable for this room; the complex determines access. The location of the presentation may change due to rearrangement. On arrival, ask where to find the offshore radio section and which parts are included in your ticket.

Before you go

Follow the complex timetable; from October Tuesday and Wednesday are also closed.
