Maas Binnenvaartmuseum belicht andere<br />
kant van Sint-Nicolaas<br />
De goedheiligman is weer in het land. Op vrijdag 17 november opende<br />
locoburgemeester Sjors Blomen van Maasgouw de tentoonstelling<br />
‘Sint-Nicolaas, schutspatroon van schippers en zeelui’ in het Maas<br />
Binnenvaartmuseum.<br />
DOOR NOUD VAN DER ZEE<br />
Hij deed dat toepasselijk met een<br />
Sinterklaasgedicht op rijm. Schrijfster<br />
Irene Bruynickx las voor hoe schipperskinderen<br />
vroeger het Sinterklaasfeest<br />
aan boord beleefden. Eerder had<br />
voorzitter Ton Forschelen de sponsors,<br />
bestuurders en vrijwilligers van het<br />
museum hartelijk welkom geheten.<br />
Daarna werden de genodigden in staat<br />
gesteld de wisseltentoonstelling te<br />
bekijken.<br />
Redder op zee<br />
Sint-Nicolaas-kenner Marcus Vankan<br />
heeft de tentoonstelling samengesteld.<br />
Hij kon putten uit een collectie van<br />
honderden objecten, beelden en andere<br />
uitingen van volksdevotie. De legende<br />
van Sint-Nicolaas als redder op zee<br />
stond aan de oorsprong als patroonheilige<br />
van schippers, zeevaarders, vissers<br />
en scheepsbouwers.<br />
Een graanschip raakte in grote nood op<br />
zee in de buurt van Myra, waar Nicolaas<br />
bisschop was. De mast stond op<br />
breken en de zeilen klapten dubbel.<br />
Ieder moment konden de opvarenden<br />
overboord slaan. In grote nood riepen<br />
zij Nicolaas om hulp. Opeens stond<br />
Nicolaas op het dek van het schip. Hij<br />
hielp de zeelui, sprak hen moed in.<br />
Samen pakten zij allen aan en bereikten<br />
behouden de haven van Myra. Al<br />
snel deden steeds meer verhalen de<br />
ronde over hoe Nicolaas talloze drenkelingen<br />
uit hun nood redde.<br />
Vanaf de 9e eeuw groeide in havensteden<br />
en plaatsen langs belangrijke<br />
vervoerswegen het aantal kerken dat<br />
naar hem vernoemd werd. Dit was ook<br />
te danken aan de Noormannen, een<br />
zeevarend volk, die vaak de voorspraak<br />
inriepen van Nicolaas voor een behouden<br />
vaart.<br />
Wisseltentoonstelling<br />
Het bouwen en uitbreiden van het<br />
Maas Binnenvaartmuseum is – voorlopig<br />
– gestopt. De afgelopen jaren<br />

werden de museumhaven, rondvaartboot<br />
de Gouverneur van Limburg en<br />
de Stuurhut gerealiseerd. Alle energie<br />
en menskracht worden nu ingezet voor<br />
de museale taak. De Sinterklaastentoonstelling<br />
is daar een eerste voorbeeld<br />
van.<br />
Het ligt in de bedoeling om ieder jaar<br />
een nieuwe wisseltentoonstelling op te<br />
zetten, in samenwerking met een ander<br />
museum of culturele vereniging.<br />
De Sint Nicolaastentoonstelling is<br />
georganiseerd in samenwerking met<br />
de Heemkundevereniging Maasbracht<br />
in Beelden. De wisseltentoonstelling is<br />
nog te bekijken tot en met woensdag 6<br />
december.<br />
De reguliere openingstijden zijn op<br />
woensdag, zaterdag en zondag van<br />
14.00 tot 17.00 uur.<br />
