Goeree Regional Museum – Overflakkee

The Association of The Goeree-Overflakkee Regional Museum in Sommelsdijk was founded in 1949 on the initiative of Mr. A.. J. Kruider. Our objective is to tell the story of the history of Goeree-Overflakkee in an appealing way and to preserve the island’s heritage.
The Regional Museum is regularly visited by schools, which is partly to this way that the historical awareness of the former island of Goeree-Overflakkee is co-developed. This is especially true because changing exhibitions are shown every season.
