The studio as an organisation
View drawings, models and workshops as parts of a collaboration. Ask which tasks Cuypers carried out himself and which were done by his staff.
The building is a source in itself
Pay attention to material, ornament and spatial connections. Distinguish between the original living and working areas and later museum adaptations.
The temporary exhibition room looks ahead
Exhibitions on design and making change. Check the title and dates, and do not expect an announced throne presentation before its start date.
Before you go
Open Tuesday–Sunday 11.00–17.00; Monday closed. Closed on several public holidays and during carnival, with adjusted hours in December. The main entrance is wheelchair accessible, but not all the historic rooms are; a reported lift fault may restrict access further. Check this in advance.
