Inside the manor house
The organisation describes an interior display centred on the Van Bolhuis-Frima family. Notice the combination of furniture, portraits and space. What impression does a room give, and how does the explanation help you look beyond the furnishings alone?
From house to farmyard
The museum farmhouse and the labourer’s cottage are also part of what is described. Do not compare wealth or comfort from the outset; look first at what the display itself shows. Differences in the use of space can be a good reason to ask further questions.
Art in the garden
Outdoors, Verhildersum mentions a sculpture garden with work by Eddy Roos and an orchard of standard fruit trees. Step back from a sculpture for a moment and look at it from a different angle. It makes a change from the rooms and their domestic theme.
Before you go
According to the information, the museum season runs from April to October. Check which parts of the estate are open.
