Cultuuranker
Since 2013, Muzee Scheveningen was established as a Cultuuranker for Scheveningen, giving it the status as the hub where cultural activities for and by residents are organized. There are eight Cultuurankers in The Hague and together they are responsible for providing for art and culture in all parts of the city.
The collection
Daily life in Scheveningen is a common theme of the collection in Muzee. The fishery, bathing culture, old crafts, tools and paintings give a detailed overview of what life used to be like in Scheveningen. The collection of marine biological material in Muzee mostly consists of shells from all around the world and is one of the most extensive in the whole of the Netherlands.
Volunteers
The volunteers in Muzee are a core part of the collection. Many have great historical knowledge of Scheveningen and the fishery. Moreover, they contribute a lot to the friendly atmosphere and accompaniment of visitors, which connects the museum to Scheveningen.
Staff
Muzee Scheveningen would never run as smoothly as it does without its motivated group of employees and volunteers.
Members of the board
The board is tasked with independently keeping watch over all the activities that take place within Muzee Scheveningen. The managing director is responsible for all financial and policy matters, and the board supports the managing director in doing so by offering advice when solicited or when necessary. Each member of the board has their own area of expertise, which contributes to the management of Muzee Scheveningen.
