Scheveningen before it became a seaside resort

Long before the promenade and modern beach attractions, Scheveningen was a working fishing community. Maritime trade, traditional crafts and life around the North Sea shaped the village for generations.

Muzee brings this history closer through photography, maritime objects and stories from local families, fishermen and residents.

Fishing vessels and maritime heritage

Learn how fishing boats, equipment and changing technologies shaped everyday work at sea. Fishing could be dangerous, and the museum also explores its effect on families ashore.

The displays offer a useful historical background before visiting today's working harbour and watching the vessels from the waterfront.

Traditional clothing and village life

Scheveningen's traditional costumes are among the village's best-known cultural traditions. Textiles, accessories and photographs show how dress reflected local identity and everyday routines.

Domestic objects and historical records help visitors understand the transition from an isolated fishing village to a popular destination on the Dutch coast.
