Sonneveld House
Sonneveld House is a house museum where museum pieces such as precious glassware and works of art form part of the interior. Nieuwe Instituut has opted not to place these objects in showcases in order not to disrupt the atmosphere in the house and to create as authentic an interior as possible. Instead, the most precious objects are protected with sound alarms that go off when someone gets too close. We ask that you take the vulnerability of the house, interior and objects into account and respect the house rules that serve to maintain and protect them.
- Wearing slippers over your shoes is required.
- Coats and bags must be stored in the lockers or on the coat hook.
- Cabinets and doors may be opened but keep sufficient distance from the works of art and other objects.
- Please do not touch the objects. The slightest contact could result in damage.
- Eating and drinking in the house is not permitted.
- You may take photographs but not with a tripod.
- Phone calls are not permitted.
- Be considerate of other visitors.
- Follow the instructions of the staff.
Please be aware that CCTV is used throughout the house.
