The Flood Museum in Ouwerkerk is where you can learn all about the 1953 North Sea flood and Zeeland’s battle against the tide. The museum was built after the flood. It consists of phoenix caissons, which were used to seal the dikes. These are enormous concrete structures (62 x 20 x 18 meters wide) that sealed the largest breaches in the dikes. Four of these gigantic structures were placed to seal the last breach in the dike at Ouwerkerk, serving as a memorial to the region’s and the country’s historic struggle against the sea. Linked by underground passages, these four caissons house the Flood museum. In 2023 it will be 70 years ago that the flood disaster took place. The museum keeps the memories alive, learning from the past but also looking forward. In the year of remembrance, the museum is not only looking back 70 years, but also 70 years ahead. The project is about supporting the museum to accomplish this in many different ways.
