Utrecht

Museum Spakenburg

Even in the 21st century traditional regional costumes are still an important part of daily life in the fishing villages surrounding the former Zuiderzee, currently called the IJsselmeer. The Spakenburg Museum is housed across several historical premises in the heart of a region bursting with traditions. Utensils and tools from local traditional trades form the majority of the collection of 7,000 exhibited items, but regional clothing and paintings are also on offer. Even the rivalry between the two local football teams is covered by the museum. There's plenty to do outside as well, as the museum harbour accommodates Holland's largest historical fleet of botters (a type of fishing boat) not to mention a museum fish market.
