’t Olde Maat Uus: Giethoorn from house and boat

Museum Giethoorn ’t Olde Maat Uus shows more of the village than the well-known view from the water. A farmhouse, a fisherman’s cottage and a boathouse give the story several different places to unfold.

Plan your visit ↗

Inside a farmhouse

Look not only at individual objects but also at their place within the room. Which actions does the explanation draw attention to? The museum tells the story of earlier Giethoorn, giving context to a building that would otherwise remain mainly an attractive façade.

The water close by

The fisherman’s cottage and the boathouse connect living with the water. Ask how the presentation explains the use of a boat. The stories about peat extraction and local customs offer different points of entry here.

Listening and looking back

An audio tour is part of the visitor offering described. Choose one story that you want to explore further outside afterwards. Anyone who wants to know more can also use the image archive of photos and documents to follow changes in the village.

Before you go

Check the winter schedule and the holiday periods; groups can also arrange a visit by appointment outside regular hours.
