Museum Vlaardingen looks out over the herring harbour

Art, local history and fishing heritage come together on the Westhavenkade, with the sailing lugger Balder as a separate main exhibit with limited access.

Plan your visit ↗

Herring town in objects

Ask which objects or images in the current display cover catching, processing and trade, and how each carries a different part of the story.

Balder according to the calendar

The sailing lugger is open on only a few Sundays. Book or check the calendar, and do not expect access to the ship on every regular museum visit.

Art alongside harbour history

Temporary exhibitions may take a different theme. Check the current title and see how the harbour location is linked to the display.

Before you go

Open Tuesday–Saturday 10.00–17.00 and on Sundays and public holidays when open 12.00–17.00; closed on Monday. Many major public holidays are in fact closed. Balder has separate Sundays and conditions. Check the calendar, heat protocol and accessibility in advance.
