Archaeological mini-museum De Waterwolf in Etersheim has an additional attraction. In the NAP game, the participants have to keep their feet dry.

The game provides information about water management and the consequences of poor management in a playful and challenging way. Each player is responsible for managing their own piece of polder and for maintaining the dike. Incidentally, the sustainable table can also be used as a conference table. The Etersheimerbraak Foundation is pleased with the new acquisition, which will be officially inaugurated during the New Year’s reception on Wednesday 9 February.

Incidentally, ‘t Schooltje van Dik Trom, Mill Foundation Zeevang and the mini-museum De Waterwolf all three merged into the Etersheimerbraak Foundation on 1 January. ,,It was much more convenient to join forces”, says Hilda Raasing from Warder, who has taken up office as secretary. “We can now communicate more efficiently and we strengthen each other.”

Friso de Zeeuw is chairman of the foundation and Dick Hendriks is treasurer. Furthermore, Dorus Luyckx (vice-chairman) and Adri Bakker are members of the board. Raasing joined as secretary after she resigned as director of the Zaanstreek-Waterland Safety Region. “At that time it seemed difficult to do something like this in my own region. Then you run the risk of sitting with double hats on. Once I was ‘free’, I could join and deal with the merger of the three foundations.”

Now that the museums are allowed a little more, it will also become a little busier in De Waterwolf. ,,And that of course also applies to ‘t Schooltje van Dik Trom and museum windmill De Breek. It’s great that we can do something more.”
