Stories by pupils

FREE ENTRANCE | De Wondere Pluim is an annual writing contest for elementary school students. Their stories must be inspired by an object from the MAS collection. The MAS honors the winners, the objects that served as inspiration are put on display, and the stories—read aloud by the children themselves—can be listened to in the Visible Storage.

A remarkable collection

FREE ENTRANCE | Maria Nijs assembled 200 precious dolls, made in Europe between 1830 and 1930. From her remarkable collection, MAS acquired eleven of these dolls.

The 11 dolls, together with the painting, can be admired in the Visible Storage starting June 9.
