Palingmuseum Harderwijk

The eel is a very special animal, perhaps the most unusual fish in terms of lifestyle. Therefore, the museum is showing a specially created animated film that explains all the special features.

For example, did you know that eels live in fresh water, but reproduce in salt water?

Educational program

The Eel Museum is perfect for families with children. It shares a wealth of information about the mysterious eel, and also covers the transition from the Zuiderzee to the IJsselmeer.

Wooden fishing boat

The presentation also covers a lot about eel fishing methods and processing. Everything is presented in a child-friendly and interactive way. It's a fun and engaging presentation that won't take hours to complete.

Combined with the authentic wooden fishing boat outside the building and the experience of the rest of the fish palace, it truly is a fun and educational outing!
