Art pottery up close
Compare the glaze, decoration and shape of two pieces. Read the mark and dating before linking an object to a factory or style.
Altarpiece and space
Look at the composition and size from a distance, then find a single detail. Ask how the original function differs from the current museum display.
The gasthuis as a route
The historic complex has changes in level and several entrances. Notice how building and collection steer each other in the display.
