On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, special hoisting operations will take place at the Batavialand Museum. The remaining cannons and part of the ballast will be removed from the Batavia.
A Look Behind the Scenes
The work offers visitors a unique glimpse behind the scenes. Moving heavy cannons and an entire historic ship isn’t something that happens every day. That’s why there’s a lot of activity on and around the Batavia.
Due to construction work, the Batavia will be closed to visitors all day on July 22.
The rest of the Batavialand Museum is open
The exhibition hall and the shipyard will be open as usual today. Discover how Flevoland was created from the former Zuiderzee, view artifacts from centuries-old shipwrecks, and watch craftsmen at work on historic ships.
Make it a relaxing day and combine your visit with a trip to Batavia Stad. The Batavialand Museum is easily accessible, and parking is available right next to the museum.
Practical information
The Batavialand Museum will be open on Wednesday, July 22, during its regular hours. Only the Batavia will be closed that day.
