Will you join us on a scavenger hunt?
Ga op speurtocht in de Andriessenzaal van het Grachtenmuseum in Amsterdam. Kinderen kunnen in het museum op speurtocht gaan door onze Andriessenzaal. Deze kamer is vernoemd naar de maker van de muurschilderingen: Jurriaan Andriessen. Ga mee op speurtocht door deze kamer, met hulp van Benjamin, de hond van Jurriaan Andriessen. Als teckel is Benjamin de beste in het opspeuren van verstopte, kleine bijzonderheden. Hij weet alles te vinden in de Andriessenzaal. Lukt jou dit ook? 🔎
Vraag de speurtocht bij de balie en speuren maar! Als je klaar bent kun je hier ook de antwoorden controleren.
