The contemporary presentation enables visitors to literally explore the history of the Schokland area, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995. In the museum, one learns more about 10,000 years of habitation history, the hard life on the island, and the struggle against the water. Visitors also experience how Schokland ultimately became a dry island after the land reclamation. The many archaeological finds illustrate how people lived on the border between land and water.
Unique are the 4,000-year-old footprints of an adult and a child. They belong to one of the oldest footprints in Europe and are the highlights of the museum.
Of course, there is also space in the exhibition for the young researcher, with interactive presentations for children.
