Museums on the Wadden Islands

The Wadden Islands are not only rich in flora and fauna, but also in museums that teach young and old all about island life. Dive into the world of the seal in seal and porpoise sanctuary Ecomare. Learn all about the line of defense against the Russians during World War II at Aviation and War Museum. See what the sea yields in terms of materials and stories at a real Beachcomber's Museum (you'll be surprised what washes up here). Or visit historic lighthouses, whaler houses. Drowning houses, wrecks and bunkers in the dunes. On the Wadden Islands you will find a museum for everyone where your mouth falls open in amazement. Oeh's and aah's guaranteed.
