A critic and his ideas
The presentation covers criticism of the church and new forms of communal life. Keep historical statements tied to their source and period, and avoid translating them directly into the present.
Interactive and virtual
VR and interactive elements can give abstract ideas a physical shape. Compare the reconstruction with what is actually visible in the cellar and foundations.
The historic cellar
Below ground, the site itself gains weight. Pay attention to the brickwork and changes in level, and ask which parts belong to the chapel, to later building work, or to the modern museum fit-out.
Before you go
Groups can book outside opening hours. The museum closes on various religious and national holidays; check for occasional Open Monumentendag (Open Monuments Day) hours.
