Museum 't Fiskershúsk

Museum 't Fiskershúske takes you back in time to the lives of Friesland’s fishing communities. This unique museum in Moddergat consists of a collection of authentic fishermen’s cottages that showcase how fishing families lived and worked along the coast for centuries. Step inside the atmospheric cottages and experience how fishermen and their families braved the sea. The interiors are preserved as they once were, featuring original furniture, tools, and household items that depict daily life. Learn about the devastating fishing disaster of 1883, in which many fishermen from Moddergat and surrounding areas lost their lives. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum hosts rotating exhibitions on Frisian fishing history, shipbuilding, and maritime traditions. From the dike next to the museum, you can enjoy a stunning view of the Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Are you fascinated by maritime history and the tough life on the coast?
