Recognising and comparing
An object can bring back memories, but not everyone has had the same experience. Use recognition as a starting point for conversation and read how the museum explains the chosen period and setting.
A space as a whole
Look also at the relationship between furniture, products and furnishings. A complete shop or home display tells you something different from a single object viewed mainly for its form or technology.
LEGO as an extra subject
A LEGO exhibition is listed until the end of 2026. Check the current dates and content if that is precisely your reason for coming to Oostereiland.
Before you go
Weekend and public holiday hours start later than on ordinary weekdays. Reserve a loan wheelchair in advance if you wish to use one, and check special closing days.
