Ge-wel-dig! Vanaf de entree (voor € 12,- kreeg ik dus entree, een gratis beeldje van die afgrijselijke Abdullah 😜 een polsband voor een kluisje) en daarnaast ook nog hele vriendelijke uitleg over hoe het museum werkt (route van boven naar beneden) Daarna gingen in het museum alle luikjes in mijn geheugen van meer dan 50 jaar geleden weer open. Ook kreeg ik heel veel info en inzichten over zaken waar ik me als kind niet voor interesseerde maar die ik nu hartstikke leuk vond om te weten te komen. (bijvoorbeeld dat er een herkenbaar verschil zit tussen Jansen & Janssen) kortom, ik heb een fantastische dag gehad en de grootste uitgave die ik gedaan heb was geheel vrijwillig en met veel plezier in de souvenirshop. Topdag! Bedankt!
