Saba
Culture and
Nature Tourism
This is the first of a two-part series, submitted by
Dr René Caderius van Veen, on the island of Saba.
In 2014, Dr. René Caderius van
Veen started a museum in one
of Saba’s traditional cottages.
It was the foundation of
the Dutch Museum Saba
which now exhibits antiques
from the period 1600-1850.
Dr Caderius van Veen also
collects data about the shared
history between Saba and
the Netherlands during the
period 1640 - 1800. Videos
and PowerPoint presentations
about that period which was
partly dominated by the West
India Company (WIC) are also
in evidence.
On your visit to Saba, be
sure to stop in at the Dutch
Museum which is located
on Park Lane Street 12,
Windwardside. The patron,Dr
Caderius van Veen will
be there to share Saba’s
interesting history with you.
