Sources checked on 9 October 2026. The Dutch page and press release give 3 October 2026 as the opening and 21 March 2027 as the closing date; the English page has a conflicting opening date. The “first in Europe” claim is attributed to the museum; older English copy says “first in the Netherlands”. The exact number of objects is unknown.
