Make sure to check this page regularly because it’s where we announce all the extra activities organised at our museum.
Exhibition ‘Container Shipping’
Over the last decades, many containers have fallen off ships and often their cargo has washed ashore on beaches, including Texel beach. Some of the things found here: shoes, cosmetics, small sledges, cans of milk powder and bags of nuts. Another ‘interesting’ time was when lots of cartons of cigarettes of the Hollywood brand spilled onto the beach from damaged containers. All of Texel was dragging these cigarettes around. We also have a sweater on display knitted by a Texel lady from bales of cotton from a container washed ashore in 1982.
Recently, the MSC Zoë container ship lost over 300 containers off the coast of Terschelling. The beaches of Terschelling, Ameland en Schiermonnikoog were scattered with goods that had washed ashore. Some of them also ended up on Texel beach, such as children’s coats, car parts and small chairs, which are all displayed in the new ‘Container Shipping’ exhibition. This exhibition runs throughout 2020.
Spring holiday activities
Children’ Day
This day is extra fun at Juttersmuseum Flora. With all kinds of great activities for children to enjoy, such as arts & crafts, during which older children can make a tealight holder, Texel board or mobile from things found on the beach and little ones can colour in a lovely colouring picture. All this is thirsty work, of course, so, there is free lemonade for the children. We also have a treasure hunt through the museum with all sorts of games along the way and a fun playground that will keep them well entertained.
Cool Beachcomber stories
At 11.00 (or 14.00), there is an exciting, varied beachcomber presentation about beachcombing at Juttersmuseum Flora.
This informative presentation is great fun for young and old, with the beachcombers of Flora sharing their most exciting, thrilling stories. Learn all about beachcombing. What is it? What makes you a beachcomber and ... what exactly can you find on the beach?
Arts & crafts in the beachcomber workshop
Join us today in our workshop for some arts & crafts. Decorate a lovely vase with things and shells collected on the beach or create a message in a bottle. A great way to make your own Texel souvenir! Our beachcomber workshop is open from 11.00 to 15.00.
