Jan Lont: farming and fishing life on Wieringen

The Wieringer Eilandmuseum Jan Lont in Hippolytushoef uses a farmhouse as the setting for the regional story. Farming life and fishing are named side by side as subjects.

A farmhouse with a story

The name Jan Lont links the museum to a resident. See how the presentation brings together the house and the objects, and which explanations distinguish between personal history and the wider regional picture.

Looking to the water too

The fishing theme offers a different perspective from agriculture. The combination leaves room for different forms of work and livelihood on Wieringen, without treating them as a single experience.

A current exhibition

Additional exhibitions are mentioned alongside the permanent subject. Check the calendar if a specific presentation about Wieringen is the reason for your visit.

Before you go

The regular visiting days are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with shorter winter hours. An appointment is needed for other days; discuss access to the farmhouse in advance.
