An interior as a whole
Look not only at individual pieces of furniture, but also at their place in a room. A guided tour helps to connect the furnishings with their use and the residents. Its reconstructed character also calls for attention to what is being explained.
Another side of industry
The paper manufacturer forms a link with Zaan business life, but the house puts the emphasis on living. That gives a different view from machines in a factory display. Ask how those two sides come together in the museum’s story.
A guided afternoon
Regular access is on Friday, Saturday and Sunday within a short afternoon window. Groups can make an appointment outside those hours. Concerts and lectures follow a separate calendar; an event is not the same as an ordinary guided tour.
Before you go
Check the afternoon schedule and the public holidays; older listings give longer hours than the current museum information.
