A beautiful exhibition about the start of flying to flying into space. Lots of airplanes on display like a Lockheed Constellation or a Boeing 747 (outside). Many volunteers who worked at airlines can tell you lovely stories about the planes or the work they have done. It looks us around 3 hours to see the exhibition with a small break at the restaurant. For 7,50 euro you can get a day ticket for the parking across the museum.See more..
4.0Museum Schokland(113 reviews) - A great museum and lovely cafe Tuesday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
This small museum is very well done. It describes the encroaching of the sea and subsequent mitigation efforts. There are relics from thousands of years BCE. There is enough written in English to be able to understand it all. The little cafe was magical on a warm summer day. The food was delicious; there were good options for all in our group and the setting was lovely in a courtyard. The cafe and gift shop staff were all very friendly and helpful. We went there because I wanted to experience driving over one of the long dikes in Holland. That was fun too.See more..
3.5Nieuw Land Erfgoedcentrum(50 reviews) - Water playground for small children Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums • History Museums
Nieuw Land presents the rich history of the area we now call Flevoland. Visitors to the museum can get a glimpse at the world of the prehistoric Swifterbant people, a group of hunters, fishermen and gatherers who lived here six thousand years ago.The IJssel Lake (IJsselmeer) was formerly the Zuiderzee and served as an indispensable link in a variety of transport networks, where many a ship went down with all hands in the stormy billows. An archaeological treasure trove was unearthed when the Zuiderzee was reclaimed, making Flevoland the largest ship cemetery on dry land anywhere in the world.Of course, the museum's central theme is the largest reclamation project ever: the Zuiderzee Project. The project originated on the drawing board of Cornelis Lely and was carried out by the polder workers. How do you go about developing newly reclaimed land and what will the future hold for this area?There's also plenty for children to do at Nieuw Land: a special children's presentation allows them to step into the shoes of a dyke builder, archaeologist or lockkeeper. Fun experiments and games teach them all about one of the key challenges facing the Netherlands throughout its history: water management.Texts of the permanent exhibitions are available in English, French and German.Nieuw Land also holds the archives of the province of Flevoland. The tens of thousands of photographs, documents, maps, drawings and archaeological finds stored here lay the foundation of everything we know about the Zuiderzee Project. The collection in storage presents the long history of Flevoland: starting with prehistoric times and moving through the turbulent waves of the Zuiderzee to the new land that was created with the unique Zuiderzee Project.Study centreNieuw Land is also a research centre. Admission is free for visitors of the study centre, which offers a specialised library in which to study the various archives and collections. Nieuw Land also conducts its own research, collaborating w...See more..
4.5Mechanisch Erfgoed Centrum(3 reviews) - Heel erg leuk en interessant museum Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums • History Museums
Dit museum gaat binnenkort op 25 juni 2016 open. Geopend woensdagmiddag en zaterdag. Heel erg leuk museum met een enorme collectie van gebruiksvoorwerpen uit het verleden. Zeer nostalgiek om o.a. Motoren, auto's, bromfietsen, maar ook cassettebandjes, grammofoons en fornuizen uit het verleden te aanschouwen. Enorme dieselmotoren en boten uit het verleden zijn er te zien Dit museum is echt een aanrader om te bezoeken. Ook voor kinderen is het leuk om dingen uit de jaren 50 en 60 te zien.See more..
