Museum Hoge Woerd: a Roman ship in De Meern

Museum Hoge Woerd, in Castellum Hoge Woerd, links archaeology with living and working in the surrounding area. The Roman ship and its inventory form a clear starting point.

Plan your visit ↗

Look at both the ship and the belongings

A ship is an impressive object, but the inventory helps you see it as more than just a construction. Look at which objects are associated with it and read the explanation of where they came from. This raises questions about use and everyday life.

The site as well

A walk along the castellum ramparts complements the indoor display. The exhibition on living and working also broadens the subject. Combining indoors and outdoors gives the visit both a spatial and a historical dimension.

Free, with a few restrictions

Report to the desk when you arrive. Groups of more than fifteen people must register in advance. The museum is largely accessible, with lifts, but the platform for temporary exhibitions has steps and a ramp can be steep.

Before you go

Register a larger group in advance and, if you have limited mobility, ask which parts you can reach.
