Visit

Tours & groups

Visit Museum Maluku together and immerse yourself in the stories, history and perspectives that come together in the museum.

A group visit can be arranged in several ways: walking round on your own, or together with someone from the museum.

With pupils or students

For classes, courses and teachers, we're happy to think along about a visit that fits what you're working on. There's no fixed lesson programme; we tailor the content to each group.

More than looking

Room for stories and conversation

Museum Maluku brings together objects, documents, photographs and personal memories with the stories and perspectives attached to them. That heritage keeps moving. It raises questions about origin, home, identity and about what has and has not been recorded.

For groups, a visit is therefore about more than looking alone. There is room to listen, to ask questions and to set different experiences side by side. Sometimes recognition comes through a place, a face or a family story; sometimes it is a new perspective instead.

Education

With school or education

Moluccan history is part of Dutch history, but education does not always give it the room it deserves. A visit to Museum Maluku introduces pupils and students to that history through heritage, personal stories and a range of perspectives.

There is no fixed teaching programme at the moment. We are glad to help shape a visit that fits the level, the subject and the topics you are working on. In your request, say what kind of group it is, what you are covering and how much time is available.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How large can a group be?

The discounted rate applies from fifteen people. There's no fixed maximum; for a large group, we agree in advance on the best way to welcome you.

Do we need to book in advance?

For an independent group visit, we ask you to register with us briefly in advance. For a guided tour or a visit with a class, it always goes through a request.

Is my request automatically a booking?

No. A request is a starting point. Your visit is only confirmed once we've agreed on a date and time together.

Can we also visit as a group without a guided tour?

Yes. You can walk through the exhibitions independently on any opening day. Read how that works.

How long does a visit take?

Allow about an hour for an unhurried visit to the exhibitions. The length of a guided tour we agree on a per-request basis.

How does payment work?

Tickets can be bought online in advance or at the desk in Museum Sophiahof. See how to arrange a ticket.

What if our group size changes?

Let us know by replying to our message. The number in your request is an estimate; we're happy to adjust it.

Is the museum accessible for visitors with a disability?

The museum is accessible by lift, there is an adapted toilet and there are disabled parking spaces. See the accessibility information.
