Museum van Egmond: life by the dunes and the sea

Museum van Egmond in Egmond aan Zee brings together fishing, sea rescue, art and village life. The collection is housed in a former small church on the Zuiderstraat.

The village from the inside

A small fisherman’s room and other everyday objects offer a homely way into the story. They complement the attention paid to beachcombers and fishermen. For any object, ask how it is connected with Egmond and what is known about its background.

Art alongside daily life

Paintings by the Egmondse School and Roeland Koning offer a different view of the surroundings. Compare how an artist depicts a subject with the information accompanying the everyday objects. The rowing lifeboat adds work at sea to that combination.

An afternoon in season

In 2026 the museum is open every afternoon up to and including 1 November. No regular public opening is mentioned outside that period. For children there is a treasure hunt, which lets them look at part of the collection in a focused way.

Before you go

Check the season; regular opening ends on 1 November 2026.
