Scene from the Enhuizen Zuiderzee Open Air Museum: Traditional laundry day -reenacting life from former centuries. The Zuiderzeemuseum is a museum located on the Wierdijk in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands, devoted to preserving Enkhuizen's cultural heritage as well as the maritime history of the Zuiderzee, and since 1932, the IJsselmeer. Open year-round, it consists of an "indoor" and an "outdoor" museum, though the "outdoor" museum is only open in the summer. The "outdoor" museum was completed in 1983 and it recreates a village of small houses from all over the IJsselmeer region and represents the way people lived in the IJsselmeer in the 19th century and at the start of the 20th century. The "indoor" museum, which is a string of 17th century buildings that once were VOC warehouses, contains temporary exhibition areas, as well as some permanent installations, most notably the ship's hall, which allows visitors a close-up view of some of the more common types of historical boats from Enkhuizen's rich fishing industry. The indoor museum also displays artifacts from other aspects of Enkhuizen's cultural past, including art and furniture. Enkhuizen was an important shipping port for centuries until the Zuiderzee was enclosed by the afsluitdijk ( a major causeway ) in 1932.
