In het NAVIGO-Nationaal Visserijmuseum maak je kennis met de Vlaamse vissersfamilie, de heroïsche IJslandvaarders en de garnaalvissers te paard. De rijke museumcollectie verenigt erfgoed, kunst, ambacht en natuur van de Noordzee. Wist je dat je er ook echte Noordzeebewoners kunt ontmoeten?
We had a great time at this museum. Our visit to the coast was not so great as the weather was terrible. Wind storm and rain. Didn't even go to see the beach! So, this was a ray of sunshine on our holidays. Staff are very welcoming / friendly. With 4 children ranging in ages from 2 to 9 they all had a great time finding lots to see and do. The aquarium in the basement was a delight. Didn't expect that and was a good way for the children to learn about the local fish and crabs. I think we spent about 1/3 of our time admiring the personalities of the fish. An amazing painting collection of local fishing scenes. Truly impressive. Model fishing boats that were a delight to see. Explanation of the different fishing techniques used. And of course the modest fishermen's family cottages. Lots to see. A rich history that is proudly displayed in a way for all to see, learn, enjoy and understand. A delight! And what is quite poignant if my understanding is correct is that the site of the museum is built upon the memorial of the fishermen lost at sea/ or who died at sea. So if you take the time to wander through the gardens you will find the names of those who risked their lives for their livelihoods. Quite sad as often many of the same family. The museum is a great way to keep their memory alive. And they have a tasteful gift shop with educational gifts and other appropriate items. Worth the visit! You won't be disappointed.

What a beaut! The fishermen train Belgian draft horses, with an average weight of 1000kg, and use special materials to capture the little grey shrimp. Folklore is kept alive as this is the only place in Europe where the trade of horseback shrimp fishing is still practised. I grew up here, so always special after 20 years to witness this again
