More than the famous family
Jan, Jans en de Kinderen is a recognisable point of reference. The museum also mentions other comic strips and drawing commissions. This lets you see different applications of the same drawing practice.
Building up a line
According to the organisation, a screen at the drawing table shows step by step how the characters are drawn. Paper and pencils are available; ask how you can take part.
Looking by trying it yourself
Making a drawing of your own can focus your attention on proportions and lines. Then compare it with the example again, without expecting a short exercise to explain the whole creative process.
Before you go
The opening days change with the seasons. Arrange group visits outside regular hours separately; do not rely on general tourist day schedules.
