Listen to the house and its former occupants
New three-dimensional audio techniques make you feel like a time traveller entering a busy house and printing works.
You sit at the table with Edward Moretus while he sells the house to the city of Antwerp to create a museum. In the office you come across Christophe Plantin himself. Upstairs in the library you find yourself in the midst of a discussion between books. And every house has its dark secrets: the portraits spill the beans while you stand there listening.
An audio play - not a classic audio tour
The audio play is not a classic audio tour, but brings the rooms and their former occupants to life in an amusing way.
Prefer a classic audio tour? That's also possible. The audio guide Plantin, visionary publisher tells the story of founder Christopher Plantin and his successors, the Moretus family.
