A person as a way in
The permanent focus on Jan Boon offers a route into local history. See how his story is linked to trade and shipping. The explanations help to place names and objects in context.
The chart as an object
Old sea charts can be viewed both as carriers of information and as designed objects. Pay attention to place names, lines and symbols, and ask how the chart was used. Temporary art exhibitions also make for a changing programme.
A weekend visit
The museum is free to visit during the announced weekend afternoons. The entrance is between the stated building numbers on Rechtestraat. Check the calendar for holiday breaks and the seasonal timetable, so that you do not wrongly assume an ordinary Saturday is an opening day.
Before you go
Check the weekend calendar and the entrance between Rechtestraat 146 and 148.
