The National Rescue Museum boasts a rich collection. Unfortunately, we can't display all objects in our museum; we have around 4000 items in our depot. We fondly refer to them as our 'Hidden Treasures'. Currently, we're busy digitizing them. Some objects are already available for viewing on the online platform Maritiem Digitaal.

Curious about these hidden treasures? Check out our vlogs! Our collection manager would love to show you a few favorite pieces.

We had the privilege of giving a tour for Regio Noordkop, which has been filmed and is now available for our visitors to watch!

You can also listen to the thrilling tale of the shipwreck of the Vreede off the coast of Huisduinen, Den Helder: the beginning of the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution. This story is showcased on the museum's first floor.

Our beautiful historical lifeboats are moored at the pier in front of the museum. Everyone can admire the lifeboats from the quay. These museum ships are, of course, most captivating when they sail.
