Discover how a drastic decision changed the landscape and life in the Netherlands forever. The closing off of the Zuiderzee led to the creation of Flevoland and the IJsselmeer, but also had major consequences for fishermen, shipbuilders, fish traders and their families. In “100 Years of the Zuiderzee Support Act,” you will be taken through the story of the Act and its impact on the Zuiderzee fishery. With fascinating objects, archival material and personal stories, the exhibition highlights how the inhabitants of the Zuiderzee coast dealt with these enormous changes.
