Explore with Nan!
Exploration for children aged 5 to 10
With Nan, Our Lord in the Attic Museum’s Ladybird, as their guide, children explore the 17th century house, climbing its stairs and discovering the hidden attic. Following the ladybird trail and accompanied by a delightful booklet, they get to see all the rooms, the church and the kitchens. Cupboards marked with a ladybird can be opened allowing young visitors to find out about the various museum themes in fun ways. What is an altar, and what is a confession? How does an organ work? How did people live in Amsterdam in the 17th century?
Experience all this and much more on this family exploration aimed at children aged 5 to 10.

Feast!-audio tour
Audio tour for children aged 10 to 12
Whatever the season, there’s always a religious festival on the horizon at the museum!
This audio tour introduces you to the background of many religious festivals, such as Saint Nicholas, Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. These are all originally Christian festivals. In this audio tour we explore the background to these religious festivals. Where does Saint Nicholas come from and what do we celebrate at Pentecost? Which stories belong to those festivals?
At various locations in the museum, children are informed about the house with the church and about the current festivals (adapted according to the season). Sometimes they are asked a question with which they can earn points for every correct answer. At the end of the audio tour all the children receive a certificate with their score as a souvenir.
Age group:
Children aged 10 to 12
Duration
About 1 hour

The audio tour is included in the ticket price
The audio tour is part of ‘Know what you’re celebrating’. This is an initiative of Museum Catharine Convent, together with Our Lord in the Attic Museum.
