Interactive exhibition: Schip in Zicht

The exhibition Ship in View adds a whole new dimension to the model of the Reede van Texel. Discover the central role of Texel in world trade in the seventeenth century! The films, stories and images bring the ships and their voyages to life. Museum Kaap Skil is rewriting the history books: it was not the VOC that was the most important, but navigation on the Baltic and the Mediterranean. Far more money was involved in the trade in grain, timber, wine and silk than in trade with the Far East. The merchant ships all anchored on the Reede van Texel, as did the whalers and war fleets. Texel, center of the world! Opening hours: September - June: Tues. up to and including so. 10am - 5pm. July - August: Mon. up to and including so. 10am - 5pm. Closed Christmas Day and New Years Day.
