Exhibition 'Mooi Goed!' in Museum Batavialand
You may have seen archaeological finds before, but never in this unique way. An exhibition specially designed for culture enthusiasts, lovers of ship archaeology, and especially for those who appreciate beautiful things. Everyday items and utensils brought to life in a unique and exciting way. That's "Mooi Goed!" (Beautiful Goods in English).
The Treasure Chamber
Step into the exhibition space 'The Treasure Chamber' and be enchanted by the artistic presentation of objects from shipwrecks, captured through the lens of photographer Michel Ditzel. The stylized images, accompanied by tangible archaeological objects, create an intriguing atmosphere in which the items feel like precious treasures from bygone eras. The focus is on the beauty of the objects.
National Collection Ship Archaeology
Curator of the National Collection Ship Archaeology, Joran Smale, has carefully selected objects from the Batavialand archive. Admire highlights such as a richly decorated knife, centuries-old cobalt blue jugs, and a silver pocket watch. You can even create your own still life with replicas of these ancient objects from 'Mooi Goed!'
A Different Approach to Ship Archaeology
'Mooi Goed!' offers a different perspective on ship archaeology, featuring many objects from shipwrecks in Flevoland. Discover the beauty of the material culture of ancient ships on the Zuiderzee. Objects from a ship found near Swifterbant are also on display, and the wreck of this ship can be seen at Batavialand.
Temporary Exhibition
Note: 'Mooi Goed!' is a temporary exhibition and will only be available from December 8th to mid-March 2024. Don't miss this opportunity, as the exhibition provides a unique chance to see objects not normally accessible to the public. The exhibition is located in the Batavialand museum. The ticket includes access to 'Mooi Goed!', the ship Batavia, the shipyard, and the museum.
The exhibition was created by an in-house team at Batavialand using recycled materials. 'Mooi Goed!' offers a unique opportunity to see normally inaccessible objects. The exhibition is accessible to visitors of all ages, including wheelchair users, and is suitable for children aged 10 and above.
