The Maaskamer looks outwards
Stand by the curved window and compare the view, floor plan and furnishings. The round shape determines how furniture and visitors move through the room.
Period rooms as a whole
Look at the wall finishes, chimneypiece and arrangement of furniture as a single ensemble. Ask which elements belong to the house and which were collected later.
Living with status
Details in materials and decoration show a desire to impress. Describe what is visible first, before drawing conclusions about the former occupants.
