It seems as if time has stood still in Huis Van Gijn. Yet house has gone through several evolutions since 1729. From house to museum, and again to house museum. Together with curator Wyke Sybesma, discover three centuries of changes in Huis Van Gijn.
Which parts are still from the 18th century? What modifications did architect Constantijn Muysken, friend of Simon and Cornelia van Gijn, make in the 19th century? Alongside this, Simon's collection of 17th-century auction finds rounds out the three centuries of history in Huis Van Gijn. That leaves the question - what happened after Simon's death in 1922? How did this museum house become frozen in time?
Especially on the occasion of Huis Van Gijn's 100th anniversary as a museum, this tour of the house will take you on a journey through 3 centuries of residential culture.
