Plan your visit ↗

Reading documents carefully

With a pamphlet or newspaper item, it is not only the text that matters. Also read the explanation about its maker, timing and function. That context prevents a single fragment from becoming the whole story.

People in the presentation

The description mentions Johannes Post and Arnold Douwes, among others. Follow how the museum links their stories with Nieuwlande, paying attention to individual experiences and circumstances.

More images

The museum mentions a digital image bank. It can help if you have a specific interest, but it is no substitute for context in the exhibition. Ask about suitable material if you have a research question.

Before you go

In the winter months there is limited opening or closure. Groups can visit outside the regular schedule by arrangement.
