Huis De Quack: looking at a crafted interior

Huis De Quack on the Elandstraat shows an interior in which finishing and furnishing command a great deal of attention. Imitation wood and marble, gold leaf and the layout of the rooms offer various points of interest for a visit.

Plan your visit ↗

Material and imitation

Look out for surfaces that represent a different material from the one they are made of. The difference between material and painted impression makes the decoration interesting to look at up close, within the stated visiting rules.

Moving through the house

The connected reception rooms (salon en suite), the dumbwaiter and the stair tower bring together the furnishing and the use of the house. During your visit, ask how such features are explained within the tour offered.

Limited visiting times

The house opens according to a monthly weekend schedule. A ticket belongs to a specific visiting slot; the address is not a museum open daily where you can ring the bell without preparation.

Before you go

Book for the announced weekend. The house is not wheelchair accessible; discuss other mobility questions in advance and follow the instructions on site about touching and moving around.
