Looking for a creative kids' activity this May holiday? In Vlissingen, children will get to know the muZEEum in this creative workshop and paint their own seascape.

And if you look at the sky, you'll see clouds that are constantly changing in shape and color. That makes seascapes extra exciting to paint, you can use an extensive color palette for it!
