Lovely small museum. As if you're taking a step back in time, much of the house was decorated as if Paul Tetar just left his home to do some shopping. Great to learn about the man's work and skills. Very enthusiastic and helpful staff as well.
Very nice and small Museum with impressive staff and very friendly and enthusiastic personnel.
The museum is not really spacious, it is an house that makes you step back in old times. The rooms are kept in their original state as much as possible and decorated with antique art and objects. There are three floors of the museum. A modern art exposition was displayed in the house aswell and that was a nice surprise. The personal is kind and ready to help with all questions or tour.
This is a very niche museum, about a person who got rich from investing in the Dutch railway system, and displaying his collection of primarily porcelain and paintings. He had a keen sense of art and copied well known paintings like Rembrant's 'Nightwatch'. In this museum you get a lovely, personalised tour from an expert, who tells you a bit about living in a house during the 19th century. The guide relates stories about the often valuable collectibles and sometimes quirky art, giving an entertaining look at a bygone time. There is some unique porecelain from Japan and China that were brought by the Dutch East India Copany. One Dutch blue tile showed a scene of males being dressed in women's clothing and being hit as punishment. Apparently, it was a known scene in Arnhem about punishing corrupt politicians. We were very fortunate, our tour guide was knowledgeable, and delighted in explaining the contents of this impressive home, kept exactly as it was in the time of it's owner.
