Interesting day today.....first stop was the Flood Museum on one of the islands in Zeeland in the Rhine delta. This small museum is housed in concrete caissons like those that are used to build dikes along the shoreline, particularly after the huge flood on 1953 in Zeeland. As you can see in the first photo, the local Rotary Club supports the museum (est. 2001) generously. The museum has a few paid staff, and over 100 volunteers, a sizeable gift shop, and much archived materiel, as well as an amazing art installation by a local artist who uses her own sheep's wool and natural dyes to make these large hangings as pictured below.
