Meeting the residents first
Start with the film and let the family story guide how you look at the rooms. Then choose one detail that makes you curious. A portrait or document can prompt a more focused question than trying to remember all the objects at once.
Looking with a digital guide
The Smart Guide on an iPad provides explanations during a self-guided tour. Alternate between the screen and looking at the room itself. Where is a detail that is being discussed, and what surrounds it? That way the house remains the centre of your visit.
For young detectives too
The search game about the animals of Meester Henri gives children their own looking task. Ask how the game is used and allow enough time to search together. The different ways of visiting let you adapt the pace to your group.
Before you go
On Sundays, start by 15:30 at the latest. Discuss the limited accessibility and the payment method before you set off.
