I went to the area of Texel this year in my country, which used to be part of Doggerland. (Texel is called an island but technically it's not, but that's for a different time).

There's a sea and life centre called Ecomare there, and they had a large exhibit about Doggerland (English link): https://www.ecomare.nl/en/discover-ecomare-on-texel/expositions/doggerland/

It was really interesting and worth a visit. They also had a seal sanctuary, tons of cool fish and cute merch.

Edit: here's a museum link with all the pieces that they found over the years: https://www.collectietexelsmuseum.nl/?query=search=department=%22Ecomare%22#/query/aea5e8c0-a56d-4e2a-b971-61e66c80f09d

I don't think they do this site in English though.

Wow that's really cool. I love the wooly rhinoceros.
