Water became farmland
Maps and tools show how drainage, land division and farms are connected. Follow one plot from the polder plan to everyday use.
Residents and businesses
Household objects and photos give the technical landscape a human face. For each piece, read the farm, owner or place before you call it representative of the whole of De Beemster.
Two seasons
In summer the museum is open Wednesday–Sunday; in winter only on Sunday. The season starts here on 1 May, later than at Museum Betje Wolff.
Before you go
From 1 May–31 October, Wednesday–Sunday 13.30–17.00; November–April Sunday afternoon only. Do not confuse the season with that of Betje Wolff.
