The living room as an ensemble
Look at the furniture, lighting and decoration as a whole. Ask which items belong to the flat and which were collected later for the period display.
The kitchen shows daily work
The Bruynzeel kitchen and the sink make household technology visible. Compare working height, storage and materials with the living room.
Hobby and work kept apart
The extra rooms show how leisure time and working from home were accommodated. Read the labels before you infer residents’ behaviour from objects.
Before you go
OP Voorne-Putten gives Saturday and Sunday 13.00–16.30; groups by appointment. A directly confirmed schedule is lacking. So call before you set off and also ask about access to the flat and any public holiday changes.
