From hall to kitchen
The museum description mentions a large hall, study, bedroom, kitchen and cellars, among others. Compare two rooms with very different purposes. What strikes you about the furnishings, and what activities can you imagine on the basis of the explanation?
A bed as a focal point
The museum mentions a state bed with yellow Chinese silk damask. With an object like this, look first at material and shape. Then read how it is explained in the display. A piece of furniture can demand more attention than its ordinary function would suggest.
Interior and garden
Chimneypieces, painted decorations and gardens are also part of what is described. Alternate a close look at the details indoors with the outdoor space, when it is accessible. The audio tour can help you choose subjects in a focused way.
Before you go
There is a winter closure in January and February. If you have mobility needs, ask about the wheelchair available and the appropriate access route.
