4.5 Watersnoodmuseum (439 reviews)
- An absolute must when visiting the Netherlands
Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums

I lived in the Netherlands for 22 years and had read about the water disatster and had heard about it from collegues, but nothing prepares you for the experience of this museum. I always just thought a dyke broke and an area was flooded. However the scale of the disaster was enormous and this museum really gives a wonderful account of what happened with stories about real people and what they went through. I would describe it as a Tsunami hitting the Dutch coast in 1953 and killing more than 2000 people. It's very sad but gives a great account of the disaster and the way the Dutch have defended their coast now with the Delta works. The staff were amazing and extremely helpful. Thank you so much for making our visit wonderful. See more..
