Figures in material and theme

Wooden, plaster and metal figures are arranged by, among other things, profession and sport. Compare the same characters in two materials and note posture and recognisable props.

Close to film history

Eight-millimetre films, photos and complete runs of club magazines document screenings and fan-club culture. The collection also includes slate from Stan Laurel’s birthplace and grass from both graves.

A personal collecting logic

The collection began with a Music Box figure and grew within its own room. Arrange a call in advance to confirm whether the collector can receive you.

Before you go

This is a private-home collection with no regular schedule. Always make a phone appointment before going to the Elzenstraat.
