Museum Kaap Skil

Discover the illustrious maritime history of Texel at Museum Kaap Skil. Our collection includes exceptional finds from centuries-old shipwrecks lying on the seabed along the coast. The Texel Roads were located here, upon which merchant vessels and warships once lay for anchor. Those days are recreated in the world’s largest maritime scale-model in the entrance building of the museum. Artefacts retrieved from shipwrecks tell us stories of faraway journeys, wealth, adventure and hardship. Outside, in the open-air museum, you can experience life on Texel as it was in the past.

For current visiting hours, please visit the website of the museum.
