Kröller-Müller Museum

In the summer we went to the Kröller-Müller museum. The last time we went Heidi was still a baby and it seems like a life time ago. Luckily the museum did not disappoint. It really is lovely. We spent most of our time in the sculpture garden with the kids. We even had one of Heidi's friends along for the day.

They have white bicycles which you can use to cycle through the park but with three kids in tow we just didn't have the energy to add cycling to our activities that day. It is a beautiful national park so we took a little drive to show the kids a bit of nature after we had our fill of art (as if that is possible!).

Even though we have museum cards we still had to pay entrance to the park so it isn't a cheap day out... but definitely worth a visit every few years!

Museum Speelklok

We did it! We made a resolution and are sticking to it.

Yes, we went to another museum. 

So our museum cards are not going to waste!!

(Imagine me grinning proudly)

This time round we went to the Speelklok Museum in Utrecht. It houses an impressive collection of musical instruments that all play 'automatically'. They have a guided tour every half hour and we went on it twice because the guide plays different instruments every time. That way you get to see and hear something new every half an hour! 

It has recently been renovated too and their new exhibition area was very good. The kids enjoyed it (they could press buttons and listen to sounds so they are easily pleased) and I also really liked it. Definitely worth a visit.

I hope you have a fun weekend!

Naturalis

There are so many wonderful museums to visit in the Netherlands and we, (the husband and I), decided it is about time we made more use of our museum cards. So off we went with the kids to Leiden to visit the Naturalis Biodiversity Centre. This is heaven for kids and I found it pretty interesting too.

Would I visit this kind of museum on my own? No way. But let me stress again that the kids really loved it. Dinosaur bones, stuffed animals and a big sensory activity room... we were there for hours. Now I wonder which museum we will visit next!
