    Een heel goed onderhouden, klein museum met veel materiaal en zeer behulpzame mensen. De kinderen vonden het heel leuk om in de klas interactief te kunnen leren!

    Una visita molt interessant. La persona que ens acompanyava en la visita ens va anar donant explicacions molt interessants. Important: S'ha de reservar per email. Si no, és possible que no hi hagi ningú.
