A.M. de Jongmuseum: the writer and the village

The A.M. de Jongmuseum in Nieuw-Vossemeer focuses on the life and work of the writer, with attention to his contemporaries and the history of the village. Merijntje Gijzen offers a recognisable way in, even if you do not yet know the work.

Plan your visit ↗

Approaching an author

Start with the introduction to the writer and the works covered. This gives you context before you look at individual objects or references to film adaptations and series.

Literature and setting

The village history offers a different angle from the literary work. See how the museum explains the connection, without automatically reading a novel as a factual description of the village.

A small-scale visit

The museum is run with volunteers and has a limited seasonal schedule. For another day, arrangements must be made in advance so that the necessary guidance can be available.

Before you go

Check the last Saturday of the season and make other arrangements well in advance. The ground floor is wheelchair accessible, but there is no lift to the upper floor.
