Guided tours

A guided tour of Japan Museum SieboldHuis is more than just a visit to the museum. It opens the door to a treasure chest of mesmerizing artifacts reflecting the art and culture of ancient Japan. From Lacquerware to ceramics and from geishas to samurai, our expert guides will tell you all there is to know about Japanese culture and our shared history including tales of life on Deshima.
Japan Museum SieboldHuis also offers ‘tailor made’ guided tours on a wide range of topics including Japanese flora, Dutch-Japanese relations in medical science, Japanese and Western influences in art and interesting facts about the building that was once Siebold’s house. We are happy to share our expertise with you and together create your own personal guided tour. Guided tours are also available for children.

Japan Museum SieboldHuis offers guided tours in English, Dutch and Japanese. They are one hour in length and have a maximum of 15 participants.
