Muzee Scheveningen — Attraction in The Hague

This museum largely describes the life of fishermen in the area. The statue on the promenade shows a wife waiting for her husband to return and lower on the promenade is a memorial to all those lost at sea - both at times of war and peace. I enjoyed seeing the jumpers which are reminiscent of Yorkshire fishermen's ganseys. The boat outside is a land yacht - made to go at speed...

The friendly, knowledgeable staff have made my visits enjoyable. They also suffer me to practice my Dutch, and even help me, instead of simply switching to English. I have taken a friend and her daughter (11yo) who has great fun. If you are interested in fishing, clothing, and life in the not too distant past in Scheveningen, you will find it informative...

Wow, definitely come here instead of the depressing Sea Life! Small but clean and well maintained aquarium area towards the end. The kids really enjoyed the whole museum, even if they were creeped out a little bit by the dolls recreating 1900 scenes. 😁 Very nice staff as well. Amazing terrace - what a great spot for a beer on...
