Muzee Scheveningen brings together the history, culture and maritime life of Scheveningen in a unique way. Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century school building, the museum introduces you to two sides of the village: on the one hand, the hard, rugged life of fishing families and the rise of the fishing industry; on the other, the development of Scheveningen as a fashionable seaside resort and spa town.
In 2006, the Scheveningen Museum and the Maritime Museum merged to form Muzee Scheveningen. As a result, the museum houses both historical and marine biological information and boasts a large collection of paintings and drawings, all sharing the theme of Scheveningen’s fishing industry. In addition, the museum is home to a world-renowned shell collection that showcases the riches of the world’s oceans.
Don’t forget to pop into the tropical aquarium either. This makes Muzee a versatile destination for families with children: there’s always something to discover, from historic fishing nets and traditional costumes to live marine creatures. Muzee is situated in the heart of Scheveningen, within walking distance of the beach, the Pier, the Circustheater and the Museum Beelden aan Zee. A visit to Muzee can therefore easily be combined with a wider exploration of the seaside resort.
