Director
Astrid Hertog is a broadly grounded museum professional, driven by bringing culture closer to the people. Since June 2022 she has been director of Museum Batavialand. She is also on the supervisory board of the Railway Museum in Utrecht and since 2023 board member of the Association of Science Centers and Science Museums in the Netherlands. As former director of the Roman Limes Foundation, she first came into contact with experimental archaeology. She not only appeals to the 'learning by doing' as part of research, but also how we can apply that broad approach for the public: learning with head, hands and heart. Astrid's background is Art History and she also completed a Masters in Museology in London at UCL's Institute of Archaeology.
