The Maritiem muZEEum is a renowned maritime museum situated in the centre of Vlissingen, a southwestern city in the Zeeland province of the Netherlands. The museum is home to an impressive variety of permanent collections, including priceless archaeological treasures of the ships from the VOC-era made popular by Pirates of the Caribbean, historical paintings and the famous Zeeland Collection, which showcases how the Dutch culture was steadily moulded by the sea.
