They have a parrot that has its wings clipped and it just stands in one spot in the courtyard all day. There’s ivory artifacts all over the house. In general, it’s just got 1700’s period piece villain vibes, especially after learning it isn’t just a living museum but the actual house of the family still

I was in awe after visiting this house museum. I really like museums and visit them all around the world. But this one just made me so overjoyed and happy. The authenticity, representation and allowing the visitor to experience what it means to live in such a breathtaking house was magical. Thank you for the opportunity.

Moment in de inkomst hal is al een wauw effect. De huidige eigenaar tegen gekomen met Kiku en even een gezellig babbeltje geslagen. Leuk om de combinatie te zien van vroeger en nu. De schuilkelders zijn ook de moeite.
