Although this small museum may be of more interest to Dutch art students and budding writers, if you arrange a visit in advance you can take a tour of the building where renowned local canal painter Willem Witsen (1860 - 1923) once lived. The building was donated to the state after his death and it now houses a small museum with works by Witsen and period furniture. The house also offers temporary lodging to promising writers and has done so for decades. Perhaps the view of the Ooster Park across the street inspires them.
