- Miniaturist Journal 40. I visited Museum House van Gijn in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, where, apart from the beautiful historic house and interiors, the 18th century cabinet dollshouse of Agnes Maria Clifford (1739-1828) is on display. The attic of the museum houses even more roomboxes, miniatures, dolls and toys.
Miniaturist Journal is a record of my activities, experiences, thoughts and observations in vlog form, all relating to miniatures.

You were right, that contraption in the kitchen is a mouse trap. I cheated and sent my cousin who lives in Dort to ask at the museum but it was fun guessing before hand.
Oh thank you Coby!! How wonderful you asked your cousin! And how kind of your cousin to go and ask the museum what it was! Thank you both 😃
Hello Josje...the lamp of koper in the miniature kitchen is indeed an oillamp...it's called a " snotneus" .
Thank you, Marjolein! I just found out myself that it was called that. Such a funny name, I guess maybe it was prone to dripping. 😉
Many thanks for taking us on this field trip with you to such a beautiful home. I live in the US and haven't been fortunate enough to visit Holland so a peek into the beauty is appreciated.
My pleasure! 😃
The copper lamp is just that! My mother used to have a full size one, of about 30-35cm tall, all made of copper even the reservoir. We tried it once, but it doesn’t give off much light. You could get a bit more light by pulling out the wick with tweezers, but there’s a fine line between light and black smoke even though we used a modern fragrant oil. Love the stories you have for all of the inhabitants!

Thank you Idske! In hindsight I should have noticed them on the wall of the big kitchen as well, there were several there and only I noticed them later when I finished the video. I found out that these oil lamps are called 'snotneus'. Fun name isn't it? I can imagine the smoke coming from there. I cannot imagine having to live with such dim light from candles and these oil lamps etc. I guess it would mean going to bed early 😉
Thank you for the wonderful museum tour - such an interesting place to visit. I enjoyed seeing the inspiration for your miniatures and just love those large windows. Amazing! 🌹🌺
You are so welcome! I love those windows too. I really like the style of the house, the big windows, the symmetry, the decorated central part of the house facade...
Thank you for taking us along on your visit. The museum building is beautiful!
You're welcome, Beth. I love that style of building.
What a beautiful museum! Going there soon! Tnx Josje
Hope you enjoy it! 😃
I adore the dolls and their finery in the salon. Beautiful.
I do too. And I'm not even a doll person. 😉
I absolutely loved this tour, thank you, all that copper and brass and the attics were fabulous, those toys and room boxes, I was lost in the tour and your descriptions were great.
Glad you enjoyed the tour Joan. It was a lovely museum, and I had a great trip with wonderful memories of good friends.
Wonderful- I just found you and subscribed. This is so much more interesting than most sites about miniatures and dolls houses!
Thank you so much! And welcome Maroulio 😃
The soaring ceilings in the Big House kitchen along with the super tall windows I found impressive but the reception room with its wrap around tapestries is AWESOME!
Loved the doll's house and the roomboxes in the attic -such a wonderfully preserved resource to find yourself surrounded by.
I totally agree! I didn't know that the tapestry reception room was there, so it was a wonderful surprise for me as well.
What a surprise! I have actually visited this museum but didn’t take pictures but now I can see it over and over again. Thank you so much Josje
A lovely museum to visit, isn't it? Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a lovely tour, thank you so much!! ❤
You are so welcome! 😃
Thank you🥰 such a delight to see🥰
Thank you Lee! 😃
Thank you so much for sharing such a gorgeous and informative journey through a small piece of history, a feast for the eyes and mind!
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it!
I like how these doll’s house’s look 👀:”worn’,or:”lived in!’It make’s the miniature more real,more authentic!And,I don’t know what the board was on the chair?Maybe,it was for slicing some cheese 🫕 and bread?But,I’m guessing,here!These miniatures are very lovely 🥰 to look at!A feast for the eyes!
I agree, they are lovely! I had a quick look at the video to see what the board was you are talking about, but I didn't see it. Where did you see it? In the cabinet dolls' house?
Yeah,I guess,it was in there?My dad made;a boxed miniature of a castle 🏰 for me,when I was sixteen,and fresh out of Junior High 🏫 School.I still have it on my top book 📕 shelf.It’s now:”a memory of what my dad made!And,I love ❤️ the ‘half of a castle!”I finally,furnished by making my own furniture,and adding other miniature item’s,like:hand sewn pillow’s.I’m glad,that it’s been done since;2004!Which,I believe,was the spring of that year?
Opp’s!I meant to say;I saw this cheese,and cheese 🧀 board in either,the Switzerland museum,or,whatever Museum that it was in?Hungrary?I’m not sure 🤔 where this museum was,now?I thought it was in;Denmark,originally.
That's a lovely memory to have of your dad! 👍😃
muy hermoso me que do sin palabras que preciosidades
It's a wonderful museum to visit. I loved the old dolls house. Thank you Rosario!
Zo mooi daar en wat een sfeer die er hangt. Mijn dochter vond het destijds oersaai 😏 Ze heeft dan ook het mini virus niet overgenomen helaas.
Ach, wellicht komt het nog! Ideeën en voorkeuren veranderen naarmate je ouder wordt. 😃
I love every single room. Breathtaking. The copper is incredible and then dolls and Reception Room, especially the tapestries. So much history captured. Thanks to all who have created this and shared it. Dreaming of Holland in Oklahoma, US, Barb.
It was a treat for me to see it and I'm happy to share it with you this way. I'm glad you enjoyed that!
