Learning to read
The museum description mentions reading boards (leesplankjes) and little books. Look at how words and pictures are combined, and read what role they play in the presentation. You do not need memories of your own schooldays.
Tools on the desk
The slate pencil and the dip pen (kroontjespen) are among the subjects described. Ask how they were used if this is explained during the guided tour. Touching or trying out an object always requires permission.
Large pictures on the wall
Changing displays of school wall charts offer another way of looking at education. Notice what a chart enlarges and how it organises a subject.
Before you go
Regular weekend visits in the season; there are several exceptions around public holidays and events. Groups all year round by appointment.
