Love for the book

Huis van het boek is the museum that celebrates the love for the book. Who doesn't like books? This oldest book museum in the world offers the visitor the chance to see medieval manuscripts with hand-painted miniatures on parchment. Centuries-old printed books in beautiful leather bindings and special modern books made by artists. Books don't always have to be pretty. The content is also important. That is why the museum also creates exhibitions about the role of books in major social changes and how they have influenced us. Are you curious about the makers of books? Take a workshop and learn about letters, paper, illustrations and bindings. All this can be seen and done in the house where collector Baron Willem Hendrik van Westreenen van Tiellandt lived in the 19th century, surrounded by his precious books.
