Last Sunday's Museum Visit

We were assigned to go to a museum for a group project as part of my Dutch Language and Culture course. We chose the city of Enkhuizen which is a small fishing village; it has a museum called the Zuiderzeemuseum which shows the lifestyle of 18th and 19th century fishing villages that were flooded in 1930 when the North Sea was dyked.

I love the bridges they built through the reconstructed town.

Paul and I got smoked herring; it was quite good.

Here is an interior of one the houses that is decorated in traditional ways.

Traditional costume of villagers from Marken ( the town that was flooded).
