Walk the Open-Air Leuvehaven Dockyard

While the main ticket gives you access to the indoor exhibits, many visitors overlook the extensive open-air collection at Leuvehaven. The historic harbor area surrounds the main museum building and houses operational historic ships, steam cranes, and maritime workshops.

Stroll along the docks early in the morning to watch museum volunteers actively restoring vintage vessels. You can view many of these historic boats and industrial maritime artifacts completely free of charge before purchasing your ticket to the indoor galleries.
