Writing in a home
Look at room size, light and furniture, and ask which elements date from Wolff’s time. A birthplace or former home calls for a distinction between authentic objects and fitting reconstruction.
Text as a guide
Read a short extract and look for the social relationship, place or everyday activity that becomes recognisable in the house. Do not automatically treat the novel as a factual description of the house.
Boeken bij Betje (Books at Betje)
Literary evenings also make the museum a stage. Programmes have their own times and booking, separate from the regular afternoon opening.
