An event as a starting point
The capture of Den Briel and the Sea Beggars (Watergeuzen) are a main subject. The presentation can help you connect names and events with the town without first knowing a full historical overview.
Another layer of time
Archaeological finds also bring earlier periods into view. For each object, take the information on origin and context into account, so that the different layers of time do not merge.
Images of vanished places
VR reconstructions of monasteries are mentioned alongside the portrait gallery. A digital reconstruction is a chosen depiction; read the explanation before regarding it as a direct image of the past.
Before you go
Check the later Sunday opening and public holiday exceptions. Discuss the accessibility of the various buildings and the availability of digital components in advance.
