Het Multatuli Museum in Amsterdam
de werkkamer van Multatuli

The Multatuli Museum is keeping the memory of Eduard Douwes Dekker alive. Better known by his pseudonym, Multaltuli, the author’s personal belongings, such as his desk, globe and book cabinet containing his library can all be viewed here.

Multatuli, mainly known for his novel Max Havelaar, became the Netherlands’ greatest writer of the 19th century. The house in Amsterdam where he was born looks as if he could walk in and pick up his pen and start writing at any moment. The Multatuli Museum keeps the memory of the author - whose real name was Eduard Douwes Dekker - alive. The museum is furnished with the author’s personal belongings, such as his desk, globe and book cabinet containing his library. The red chaise longue on which he died is also on display. Guides tell stories on Multatuli’s life and works based on items on display at the museum.
