Here, historian Lars Boon takes you on a journey through the history of the Zijpepolder, accompanied by a cup of coffee or tea. How did this area from water change into land? And what traces of that history are still visible today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After this introduction, we get back on the bus. Together with a field manager from Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier, we explore the polder and visit various special places. Discover how a mill works, learn more about the surprising life beneath the surface and experience how the historical map of Jan van Scorel comes to life in the landscape of today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This excursion is in line with the exhibition <em>From water to land<\/em> at the Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar.
