het nederlands stripmuseum

You must know and love your comic strips for this one or it is a complete waste of time. It is all in Dutch and unless you can read and understand some Dutch you will not get that much out of a visit.

Nice museum, soon to be relocated to Groninger Forum, about Dutch "strips" - in good English: cartoonists.Nice for adults as well as kids, conveniently located above a MacDonalds ;-)Also sell cartoons in the store.

It is interesting to go to this museum!! Really nice... but most of it is in Dutch so .... most can not be understood by common tourits.. its good to look around and see that some comics have history in the netherlands such as donald duck and asterix and obelix

Even as a Dutch speaking person I thought it was not really interesting. Indeed most of the collection are Dutch comics. You see a display of "Kuifje"-albums (Tintin), furthermore you see a display of "Suske and Wiske"-albums, so what? There is no point, only a few rare albums. Some rather nice goodies. I liked the shop the best.There is a room for children to paint, may be it more is fun for them.We liked the interaction with Dr. Freud the best, but that's as far as I can remember only in Dutch.

I did enjoy this museum, even though I'm not the world's biggest fan of comic strips. It had a nice variety of items on display covering most of the more popular comic strips, specifically, Dutch comics. There were small sections on other popular European and American comics, and an extremely small section on Japanese comics and, on the top floor, some Nikelodeon cartoons.There are some rather strange things to discover here, like the fact that Donald Duck is very popular in the Netherlands! I also learned about Fokke & Sukke which I found entertaining. My favourite comic in the whole museum was one about a husband reluctantly appreciating his wife's bad knitting (of course, I am a knitter).However, if you aren't a Dutch speaker, you really want to have a Dutch speaking guide with you to translate most of the information and comics, as there is very little English, and even with comics they are quite hard to follow unless you can understand what is written! I also thought that the price was a little steep.

Over all not worth the money, the fee compared to the amount we spent in Hamburg to see the Model railway was very expensive. Not a lot to do or see. Not a lot of international comics. the gift shop was pricey too. Could do better.

The entrance fee is fairly low and the museum is pretty good value for money. Particularly liked the engine room part.

All the great dutch comics combined in one big space? Count me in! I loved it, there is also a big part dedicated to nickelodeon so the youngsters will see their heroes while the parents look for the golden oldies in the comic world.

Small museum about comics and comic books. Price-value wise maybe a little expensive and there is not a lot to do for kids, besides drawing their own comic. The expositions are nice for the parents, because it's about comics that they read in their childhood, but children don't know these comics so it's not really their cup of tea.

The museum shows the history of the strip, specially the dutch .For kids as well as for us (60 years old) its a nice exposition.

It's very nice to see collections and memorabilia about comic characters that I grew up with.The negative things: all info are in Dutch, so I couldn't enjoy all the displayed comic strips.

The museum is dedicated to the history of comics and cartoons and dedicates different sections to tributes to several writers of comics. A large portion is dedicated to Marten Toonder. This is very appropriate, because his family hails from Groningen (although Marten Toonder was born in Rotterdam after his father brought the family there looking for work) and Marten Toonder is indisputable the godfather of the Dutch comics, with his renowned cartoon characters as Olivier B. Bommel, Tom Poes, Kappie, Koning Hollewijn, etc., which entertained and still entertain many people, young and old. However, the big disapointment sets in as you become aware that a giant from the comics world as André Franquin (Gaston Lagaffe) is not even mentioned, neither is Peyo (The Smurfs). But it is the DUTCH comics museum, someone points out. Yes, I said, but why then the big display of Willy Vandersteen (Suske & Wiske), he was Belgian, just as Franquin. When someone pointed out that Willy Vanderstten wrote in Flemish, I countered this with the big display, giving tribute to Hergé (Tin Tin). Hergé was Belgian and definitively Francophone, just as Franquin and Peyo. So where are those other giants: Albert Uderzo and René Goscinny, who still entertain the world with Asterix and Obelix? Plenty of room in the museum to make even a small tribute to those masters of the comics. No, the first time you will be aware of the existence of those great artists mentioned is in the museum shop, where plenty of books of Gaston, the Smurfs and Asterix are for sale. Hey, there is a book with comics of Toon van Driel in the shop. Toon van Driel has entertained for more than thirty years the Dutch people with his daily comics in the newspapers. In the museum he was invisible. Take my advice: Spend your entrance fee in the museum shop.

This museum has a fine collection of Dutch comics, Don't miss the introduction in the revolving theatre.

Het is een leuk museum om zo'n 2 uurtjes rond te kijken. Een aantal goede striptekenaars uitgelicht d.m.v. een kleine tentoonstelling binnen het museum. En natuurlijk de mogelijkheid om stripboeken te kopen na afloop,

En dat doe ik niet zo. Ik had dan ook het gevoel snel uitgegeken te zijn. Het gedeelte over Jan, Jans en de kinderen was wel leuk. Ik moet hier nog steeds hartelijk om lachen.
