At the Batavialand Museum, there’s a ship that takes you back to the 17th century: the Batavia. This spectacular reconstruction of a VOC ship was built using traditional techniques and is brimming with stories of craftsmanship and adventure. Stand on the deck where history was made, feel the wind through the rigging, and smell the wood creaking beneath your feet. Every detail, from the ropes to the cannons, tells a story about life on board during the17th century. Do you dare to step aboard?
