Place before the general story
Choose one object with a known Schagen provenance and look for the street, owner and date. This keeps local history concrete.
The guide as a pointer to sources
The extended guided tour helps you make connections, but keep asking which document, label or testimony supports a claim.
Education in a small space
The collection is also aimed at young people and school groups. The tower display requires supervision. Visits are currently by appointment only; discuss in advance which guided tour suits the group.
Before you go
Currently by appointment only. Schools and groups must always register in advance; bear in mind the stairs in the castle tower.
