Michiel de Ruyter made many sea voyages. Discover how he lived, what he saw, and what he experienced. Join the investigation at the muZEEum and then paint your own seascape, just as Michiel might have seen it.
Planning
Together with a guide, you'll search for Michiel in the muZEEum. You'll look at letters he wrote and learn what life at sea was like, with wind, stars, and an endless horizon. At what moments was he heroic? Do you think he ever suffered from homesickness?
After the expedition, you'll get creative. During a painting workshop, you'll create a seascape, much like Michiel might have seen.
