The archive item as original trace
A photograph, map or deed is created for a specific purpose. Read the sender, date and context before using the document as a complete picture of an event.
Interaction for families
An animation, a virtual bike ride and a carriage ride help young visitors connect places and periods. Compare the digital reconstruction with the original item it is based on.
The Expo is not the reading room
Research rooms have different and more limited hours than the public exhibition. For a museum visit, go to the Expo on the Hamburgerstraat and arrange wheelchair access via Korte Nieuwstraat in advance.
Before you go
Expo Tuesday–Sunday 10.00–17.00; do not go by the reading-room hours. Wheelchair users should phone in advance for the separate lift access.
