Plan your visit ↗

Giving a document attention

A diary or photo calls for a different way of looking than a uniform. Read which person and circumstances are explained and ask what is known about the provenance. That keeps the material linked to a concrete story.

Lansingerland as the setting

The regional focus makes it possible to connect events to places nearby. The small display calls for looking calmly at a selection. An arranged visit leaves room to ask questions rather than just walking past objects.

Confirm the address first

Different house numbers on the Rembrandtlaan are in circulation. So do not just make an appointment for a time; have the exact entrance confirmed too. Special openings around remembrance days are announced separately and are not a fixed weekly schedule.

Before you go

Always make an appointment and confirm the correct house number and access to the lock-up garage.
