From living space to working space
Open Monumentendag describes living quarters, storage cellars, stables and a grain barn, among other things. Ask which parts can be viewed. The transition between the spaces in particular can help you understand the layout of the complex.
Look up, too
The same description mentions ceiling decorations and Art Nouveau in the interior. Deliberately take a moment for a detail like this. How does the decoration relate to the rest of the room? The explanation can then help you understand the difference between stylistic features.
The outdoors is part of it
The landscape garden (slingertuin) is also mentioned as part of what is on offer. Ask whether it is included in your appointment. A route through the house and garden gives you two ways of looking: at furnished rooms and at a designed outdoor space.
Before you go
Museum visits by appointment or on open days only. Confirm the address; the sources differ in how they spell the street name.
