A study as a way in
The museum mentions a display about Anna Maria van Schurman. Look at how the room is used to make her subject accessible. Objects and furnishings can support the story, but the explanation is still needed to understand the connections.
Faces of the university
Portraits of professors are another part mentioned. Notice how people are portrayed and what information the museum gives with them. A portrait invites you to look at clothing and posture, while the caption explains the link with Franeker.
Through the fortified house (stins)
The description of the building mentions a cellar, a bel étage (principal floor), a knights’ hall and an attic. An audio tour can help you link the different rooms and subjects. Ask which floors are accessible if stairs or changes in level matter to you.
Before you go
There is extra Monday opening in the summer half of the year. Confirm accessibility and temporary exhibitions before you set off.
