A room to look at closely

The museum’s description mentions the study as a personal part of the legacy. Look at the furnishings first as a workplace. The explanations can then make clear which objects the museum uses to link life and work.

Paper with different functions

Books, letters and photographs each provide different information. A letter shows a different side than a formal portrait or a publication. Note the selection the museum has made and the explanation of why these particular items are shown.

A work of art as a tribute

The organisation also mentions a relief by César Domela in honour of his father. This gives the presentation an artistic way in alongside the documents. Ask where the work is located if this part is of particular interest to you.

Before you go

Same visiting address and schedule as Museum Heerenveen. Ask about the route if a lift is essential for you.
