A card that opens up stories

Museum-info describes a Beleefkaart, a card that activates films, stories and installations. Ask how it works when you arrive. Then choose one subject you want to follow at your own pace, so that the technology remains a means of discovering content.

Ordinary people as a starting point

The museum description at Beeldbank Groningen mentions workers, migrants and present-day residents, among others. Notice how personal stories are used in the display. Whose voice do you hear, and how is the story linked to a place?

Digging deeper

According to the same description, the documentation centre offers consultation by appointment. Photo albums and regional newspapers can be a reason to bring a research question of your own. Discuss what you are looking for in advance; an ordinary museum visit is not a booked archive appointment.

Before you go

Plan archive consultation separately. Listings differ on any Thursday evening opening; confirm it directly.
