Bilderdijk-Museum: the collection is in Leiden

The Bilderdijk-Museum no longer has its own public venue in Amsterdam. Books, letters, art and objects are linked to collections and presentation in Leiden.

Plan your visit ↗

A writer’s collection

The materials mentioned show different sides of Willem Bilderdijk’s work and life. If you are looking for a specific document, find out in advance where it is kept and under what conditions it can be consulted.

The Bilderdijkkamer

A selection is mentioned in the Bilderdijkkamer (Bilderdijk Room) of the Academiegebouw in Leiden. That is no guarantee of daily open access; use the current visitor information of the Leiden institution concerned.

Exploring digitally too

Digital presentations offer another way into the collection. They can help you first decide which subject or material you want to examine more closely before making an appointment in person.

Before you go

Do not travel to an old Amsterdam museum address. In Leiden, confirm separately access to a presentation or the rules for consulting special collections.
