The announced sets feature cultivation, the factory, the tea clipper and the tea bag, among other things. Choose an ordinary action, such as taking a tea bag out of its packet, and then look for the earlier steps the exhibition shows in connection with it.
Literature as a way in
The museum also mentions Heren van de thee, a presentation based on the work of Hella Haasse, with archive material on the Kerkhoven family. Look at how literary imagination and documents are used side by side. One kind of material need not answer the same questions as the other.
Looking and tasting
The film described, about a tea plantation in Sri Lanka, offers yet another angle. You could combine the museum with the tea room, but first check which parts are available. A cup of tea can then prompt you to think back over the route.
Before you go
The museum, tea room and shop may have different seasonal hours. Check the winter closure in particular.
