Binnenvaartmuseum lies on deck and at the Leefwerf

Dordrecht’s inland shipping story is spread across museum ships, with the push boat René Siegfried, a LASH barge and other historic vessels as its tangible protagonists.

Wheelhouse and simulator

On board the René Siegfried, see how view, instruments and controls come together. The simulator shows which decisions a skipper makes from the wheelhouse.

Ships as workplaces

Compare the push boat, barge and ferry in terms of function, loading method and crew quarters. Ask which parts are original, restored or adapted for display.

The yard tells its part

The Leefwerf and the documentation place the vessels within a wider inland shipping network. Listed addresses differ by ship and site.

Before you go

The museum is open on Thursday and Saturday 10.00–16.00; on other days visits are only possible by appointment. Admission is free. Because parts of the collection are on ships, check the specific route, the accessibility of each ship and the correct meeting-point address in advance.
