Pumping station De Hooge Boezem behind Haastrecht, as this museum pumping station is officially called, introduces you to a reversed world. Most houses in the west of the Netherlands are lower than the rivers. But that has not always been the case. Why is that, what problems did it cause, what solutions were devised and how do we ensure that the water stays at a distance? Discover it by means of films, maps, machines and models.
