Until March 1st, 2026, the Zeeuws Museum hosts the exhibition "Bodemjuweeltjes". This beautiful exhibit showcases archeological (maritime and land) finds from Dutch soil, spanning nearly 10.000 years. This website, made as an exercise for the Studygroup Bits and Bots 2025-2026, shows the areas where some of the pieces in the collection where found. The object numbers in the table beneath the map refer to the numbers in the guidebook visitors can use when navigating the exhibiton. We hope to welcome you at the Zeeuws Museum soon!
