The Mouse House moves to Muntplein

The Muizenhuis was recently in the worldwide spotlight because of a selfie by comedian Ricky Gervais with 48,000 likes stating that he had just seen a mouse on clogs. Gervais wrote that he was very impressed with the museum and that he would have liked to stay there all day. The Mouse House consists of a series of impressive miniature sets known from the book series of the same name about the fairytale world around the mice Sam and Julia. In addition to the books which are published in 8 languages in 34 countries, work is underway on an international TV series. This summer the mini museum will move to a new location on Muntplein.
