I lived near here and did not know there was a museum here. The museum is on two floors and there is not much to see, but the guide will give you a detailed explanation. So you will need more than an hour. The guide was very knowledgeable and very informative. If you like Dutch history and books, this is definitely the place to go.

麻雀虽小 五脏俱全!If you have a museum card, I recommend you visit it when you pass by. The curator is a very enthusiastic and patient gentleman. Through his explanation, I have a deeper understanding of this writer and that period of Dutch history. I am very grateful to him!

An interesting, educational and modest museum, definitely worth a visit. We received a private tour (no additional fees) and were told everything what could be told about Multatuli. The staff are friendly, helpful, and answered all the questions we had.

Good place to know about the history of Multatuli. One of his famous book is Max Havelaar.

Max Havelaar: Or the Coffee Auctions of the Dutch Trading Company (Dutch: Max Havelaar, of de koffi-veilingen der Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappy) is an 1860 novel by Multatuli (the pen name of Eduard Douwes Dekker), which played a key role in shaping and modifying Dutch colonial policy in the Dutch East Indies in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. In the novel, the protagonist, Max Havelaar, tries to battle against a corrupt government system in Java, which was then a Dutch colony...

Small quirky indy museum devoted to the Dutch writer Multatuli (Eduard Douwes Dekker). It shows some of his furniture, including his writing desk and the couch on which he blew his last. On the ground floor many editions of his work. Multatuli’s most famous novel is “Max Havelaar”, an indictment of the Dutch colonial regime in Indonesia, which has world-wide been claimed by both the left and right of the political spectrum as supporting their cause. The curator offered me a private tour, which was most...

Het is eigenlijk geen museum an sich. Er zijn wel museale dingen te zien maar de quintessens, als je het zo mag noemen, is van verhalend en in het bijzonder in verbale zin, karakter. Onze ontvangst verraste ons; een vriendelijke en galante heer heette ons welkom en bood ons zitplaatsen aan, om ons in alle rust te vertellen over de betekenis van het huis en de persoon die er kort gewoond had. Daarop volgde een rondleiding door de schaarse ruimtes. Het was een uitgebreid bezoek, dat op ons warm overkwam maar ook een bijzondere ervaring was, want het zeer persoonlijke welkom en karakter was apart voor wat je een museumbezoek zou kunnen noemen. Enige kennis van de persoon in kwestie en de geschiedenis van Nederland en zijn koloniaal verleden is wel aan te bevelen, want een argeloze bezoeker die denkt een huis met parafernalia van een van de grootste schrijvers van Nederland aan te treffen zal teleurgesteld zijn; een bezoeker met toch wel literair-historische - ja ik weet het ook niet korter te zeggen - voorkennis zal na het bezoek verwonderd en in ons geval opgewekt het prachtige straatje uitlopen. Doe maar, zou ik zeggen. Overigens dient vermeld dat de bezoeker het Nederlands...
