Museum Batavialand is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our cannon team. Every first Saturday of the month something special happens at Museum Batavialand, namely the firing of the cannons on the jetty near the Batavia. The cannoneers, dressed in 17th-century attire, fire replicas of 17th-century artillery, bringing history to life.
What will you do?
Decked out in period clothing, you will help prepare, fire and clean the cannons during demonstrations. As you do this, you will explain and entertain the audience that follows the spectacle with excitement. You ensure that the process goes safely from start to finish.
