Very nice museum in a medieval building in the heart of Bergen op Zoom, well worth the visit. The building itself is interesting enough, the interior adds another layer (especially the stuffed dog). At the time of visit there was a very interesting exhibition of landscape paintings on loan from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, wonderful. Only point of criticism was the lighting, some paintings were hard to see because of the reflection of light. Why are almost all paintings behind glass nowadays? What's the point of exhibiting them if they can't be looked at decently? Don't forget to visit the exhibitions in the attic about fairground rides.

The oldest city palace in the Netherlands showcasing the history of the city (Bergen op Zoom) and its fishing tradition. The world's oldest complete pair of glasses is on display here. A miniature fairground with beautifully lit up attractions takes one back nostalgic memory lanes.

The museum explains the origins of the city of Bergen op Zoom, its marquesses and its defenses. The museum is very interactive; audio and video play automatically when sitting in certain places, or pushing buttons (hydro alcoholic gel available in the different rooms of the museum). It's a nice museum for kids, who will have a great time at the "Kermis zolder" where you can find miniature carrousels and other curiosities. Two treasure hunts for kids available: one for the temporary exhibition "Koele wateren" and one for the Kermis zolder. Lockers available at the entrance to leave your bag and coat (tokens available (free) at reception). Due to the covid regulations you must book a timeslot for your visit (70 people can enter the museum every half hour). Facemasks are not required in the museum.

Lovely archives. The west brabant photography expo was really nice. Also the history of the half man half fish was quite interesting. Good facades. And they also have a nice cafe inside. Reception staff very friendly. Covid 19 hygience practices very we followed.
