An entire weekend back to the 17th century
On Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 February, Museum Batavialand will transform into a lively scene from the 17th century. Step aboard the impressive ship Batavia and meet the crew: sailors, carpenters and soldiers populate the deck and bring the ship back to life. Will you also step back in time 400 years?
You will meet crew members from the past: ship carpenters, sailors and sea soldiers in period clothing show what life on board was like. They will give demonstrations, answer questions and tell about their journey, work and daily existence at sea. Muskets will also be fired just as they did 400 years ago.
