The Old Fish Market in Zeebrugge has been the home base to the Seafront theme park for 2 decades. This maritime exhibition tells the story about the sea and shipping, fish and fisheries. But general maritime and historical themes get ample attention as well. A 2 hours class visit with a lot of variation.
What can you expect as a teacher?
Below is a brief overview of the many themes covered during your exploration with the class:
ZEEBRUGGE, FISH CAPITAL
Go back in time and imagine yourself at a former fish auction. By way of an auction simulator students will discover life at a fish auction. As expert buyers they will be able to bid themselves on the fish they prefer. An auction game with winners and losers. Fun to play, exciting to do.
ZEEBRUGGE, AN INTERNATIONAL PORT IN FULL ACTION
In our exhibition about the harbour you can take a look behind the scenes of an international port in full development! An impressive spectacle of container ships, towering cranes, car carriers… Did you know that a lot of our daily used products have passed the harbour of Zeebrugge? You will discover this and many other petty facts in our harbour exhibition.
North Sea Treasures
At Seafront you will discover our breathtaking North Sea with its rich benthos life, impressive fish and surprisingly clear water. How well do you know our rich biodiversity? Search for hidden treasures and learn about climate change and how you can help protect the climate. An exciting exhibition in collaboration with WWF.
FISH FROM BOAT TO PLATE & FISH STORIES
The people behind fisheries are happy to introduce themselves to you at the ‘Fish Stories’ exhibition. Ten interesting characters each tell their own unique story and testify about their relationship with the sea.
NEW! Operation North Sea 1944-'45
Hall III of the Old Fish Market was put into use again after the departure of the submarine. There you can visit Operation North Sea 1944-45 until the 7th of November 2021, an exhibition focussing on the war at sea and the important role played by our sailors in this war. Experience and relive these harsh times.
