Explore one of our museums or wander through the tropical gardens of The Orchideeën Hoeve. You will feel like you’ve just been in another world.
The exhibitions both indoors and outside of Museum Schokland tell stories about the geology and archaeology of the Noordoostpolder, the origin and decline of the island, the lives of the Schokker people and the draining of the polder. The museum consists of several buildings surrounding the historic church of the Middelbuurt. Here it’s easy to imagine wandering through the former Schokland. In the museum’s vast exhibition you are transported through Schokland’s past: wandering through the centuries, history comes to life. Along the way you pass the unusual archaeological discoveries that are described in the exhibition. There are also temporary exhibitions on history, archaeology or geology spread throughout the year.

In Museum Nagele it’s the architecture that counts. That is not so surprising, given that it is situated in the middle of the only Dutch flat-roof village. Nagele was designed in the 1950s by the architects of De Acht en Opbouw, like Cornelis van Eesteren, Aldo van Eyck, Gerrit Rietveld and landscape architect Mien Ruys. In the museum there is a permanent exhibition about the origin of this creation. There are also temporary exhibitions that focus on the architecture and art.
