Schools
The Watersnoodmuseum offers educational programs for various levels of education. These programs align with the core objectives and domains within primary and secondary education. The Watersnood Flood is also part of the Dutch history canon.
Our educational programs introduce students to the museum and the 1953 flood. They also learn about how we need to manage water safely in the Netherlands and around the world. Students explore the museum through guided tours, stories, artifacts, and various interactive methods.
