You could say that water is in the DNA of the Dutch! The exhibition H2Olland is presenting the history of the Dutch fighting against water and the innovative spirit that was needed to protect and build the country. It presents as well a new approach that the Netherlands is introducing nowadays:  from fighting against water to working with water, using ideas of all the stakeholders (participatory approach).
