An object from the area
Choose a piece of furniture or an everyday object and read what is known about its origins. What link with the local area is mentioned? A local donation can offer a concrete point of connection, without you already knowing the families or streets involved.
The house as a whole
Then look at how different objects have been brought together within the furnishings. What does the arrangement say about living and everyday use? Ask which parts belong to the building and which were added later for the museum.
Room for local art
The calendar also lists exhibitions, including Artistieke parels uit ons heem (Artistic Gems from Our Area). Check which display is on now. Art from the area can offer a different view of the same region than a household object or a piece of furniture.
Before you go
The opening lasts two hours. Check for public holiday changes and access to the Pennendijk; old event days are not a fixed schedule.
