Must See Netherlands - Zuiderzeemuseum

The impressive Zuiderzeemuseum consists of two parts: the open-air or Buitenmuseum with 130-odd rebuilt dwellings and workshops, and an indoor section devoted to farming, fishing and shipping. Every conceivable detail has been thought of. Inhabitants wear tradition dress and there are real shops, such as a bakery, chemist and sweet shop.

The two parts lie about 300m (1000ft) from each other, but to relieve congestion visitors are encouraged to leave their cars at a car park at the edge of town. A ferry (fare included in your ticket) then takes you across the bay to the outdoor displays. Plan a half-day for an unhurried visit to both sections.
