First and foremost dank u to Magalie one of the staff for taking all the pictures for me as a solo traveler and thanks to her co worker to help me get started as well!! I had an amazing experience at this museum so worth it and no wait time. Hidden gem due to the small sign in the front easily to walk past it if you’re not paying attention. Dank u Magalie for some local recommendations!! 😊

We have enjoyed this place so much. The staff were friendly. Illusions were cool. You should go here, too. Andelon was a great guy. He deserves a raise. The only thing missing was a sign saying "vriendschap", which, according to Het Goede Doel is also an illusion.
