Plan your visit ↗

Entering the hall

In a richly finished hall, walls, ceiling and doorways work together. Look at the stucco work both as a whole and in detail, and use the accompanying information to learn about the function of the space.

From staircase to room

The stairwell links different parts of the house. In the rooms, attention shifts to chimneypieces and furnishings; the route thus shows more than individual decorative elements.

Water around the house

Its location on the Diemerzeedijk gives the building a distinctive setting. When you arrive, take that setting into account in how you see the museum house, without confusing the surrounding area with the museum route.

Before you go

Regular opening is only on the first Sunday of the month. Check for exceptions and book via the museum house calendar; discuss accessibility in advance.
