Zuiderzeemuseum

Zuiderzee treasures

The Zuiderzeemuseum focuses on the history, present and future of the IJsselmeer region. Water, crafts and communities are the central themes.

In 1932 the Afsluitdijk closed off the Zuiderzee from the Wadden Sea, and the new inland lake was named 'IJsselmeer'. The part outside the dyke has since belonged to the Wadden Sea. The Zuiderzeemuseum focuses on the history, present and future of the IJsselmeer region. There is also a large open-air museum with more than 140 historic buildings. A special and educational museum!
