A hidden construction
With smuggling objects, the relationship between outward appearance and hidden function is interesting. Read which explanation belongs to an object and how the museum describes its use.
Money and choices
The multimedia Uitgavenplafond (Spending Ceiling) deals with how tax money is spent. It shifts the focus from collection to the question of where public funds go, within the framework of the presentation’s explanation.
Different kinds of material
Paintings and silver stand alongside functional objects. Look at how these diverse elements contribute to the subject, without regarding any one type of object as self-evidently more important.
Before you go
Check for public holiday changes and early closing times. There is a lift for wheelchair users, but according to the visitor information mobility scooters are not permitted; discuss a suitable alternative in advance.
