A voice acquires attributes
The bell and costume had to attract attention and project authority. Compare shape, material and audibility, and ask what was actually used during a real announcement round.
Town criers on postcards
Old cards show how the profession was portrayed. Look at the pose, audience and caption, and distinguish documentary photographs from touristic depictions.
A walking tour as access
The museum can be visited during the Ome Bertus walking tour or by appointment. The collection is therefore not a freely accessible room during normal café hours.
Before you go
The café’s opening hours are not museum hours. Book the walking tour or make an appointment directly with Peter Vader.
