From Good Friday to Easter Monday it is Easter at Huis Van Gijn and you can search for some very special eggs!
"Usually at that time of year there is already a lot of color and brightness in nature, and people are also happy with the prospect that spring and summer are approaching," writes Lis Byrdal in the book Celebrate Merrily! from 1938. To celebrate spring, the Easter table was set cheerfully and colorfully with tulips and daffodils, "Easter bunnies" and "Easter lambs. As now, eggs were also eaten: chocolate and sugar eggs, white and pink eggs, eggs wrapped in silver paper and other cheerfully colored paper.
All Easter weekend, you can do the free Easter Detection Tour through the house. There are 8 chocolate molds hidden in different rooms of the museum house. For the older kids, there is a fun extra question. What word are we looking for? Show your completed treasure hunt route at the front desk and you will receive a tasty prize!
