Recognising or discovering
Some visitors will recognise something, while others may be seeing an object for the first time. Both reactions suit a visit. Ask what something was used for and make room for different experiences, without assuming that everyone shares the same past.
Looking with a volunteer
Volunteers from Marente give guided tours. A conversation can help make the collection accessible to different generations. Keep the visit calm and follow the interests of your group; memories do not need to become a knowledge test.
Visiting a care home
The museum is in a nursing home, so check in advance how you will be received as a visitor. Different addresses and opening times are circulating. Marente mentions the Van Wijckersloothplein and afternoon opening; have the current arrangement confirmed directly.
Before you go
Contact Marente before you set off for the correct address, the entrance and the current visiting afternoon.
