Customs in context
The museum website mentions festivals and holy days as parts of the display. Use the explanations to understand what a custom means, without assuming that you already know the terms.
Listening on your own phone
The story column is described as a collection of Jewish family stories from Drenthe that you can listen to with your own phone and headphones. Prepare for this part if the stories are your main reason for coming.
A story in a building
The former synagogue forms the setting of the display. See how the explanations connect the use of the space with the subject. Family stories add a personal way in.
Before you go
Check the summer or winter hours. The venue may close in very hot weather. The museum’s own pages give different admission prices; check the current price.
