Schoolplatenmuseum: learning through large pictures

The Schoolplatenmuseum in Deinum describes a collection of educational wall charts in a former farm cowshed. The charts let you look not only at a subject, but also at the way it was explained.

A picture with a job to do

The museum’s website mentions charts by Koekkoek and Isings, among others. Look at how people, animals or events are distributed across the picture. A school wall chart tries to give an overview; that very arrangement can be interesting to discuss together.

Familiar and unfamiliar

Recognising a chart from your own classroom can be a starting point, but no prior knowledge is needed. The explanation that goes with a chart helps you distinguish between subject and purpose. Pictures of other countries or historical events deserve attention to the maker’s perspective.

By appointment, with explanation

The organisation offers visits by appointment and mentions group visits with an explanation and coffee or tea. When you make your request, say which subjects interest you. The collection is extensive; a focused programme can make the visit easier to take in.

Before you go

By appointment only. Discuss group size, price and any accessibility requirements directly.
