Museum The Mouse House is a miniature world filled with tiny corridors, rooms and workshops. Follow Sam and Julia as they lead you to their secret hiding place under the stairs, participate in an exciting boat race in the harbor and invite you to join the Circus Robberti. These are just some of the exciting adventures you'll find in The Mouse Mansion's children's books.
This summer, the museum will move to new premises on Muntplein. The old building in the Jordaan became too small, so now they are moving to a five-story building. In addition to a store and museum, the new building will become the company's international headquarters and will host workshops.
It will be quite a job to bring all seventeen miniature sets of the books. The family business, which consists of author Karina Schaapman, her four children and a son-in-law, is internationally known. The Mouse House books have been translated into 28 languages and are sold in 34 countries. It is even working on a TV series produced by French and German channels.
"We are slowly conquering the world, without bombs or grenades, but with mice," said Karina Schaapman, the author and founder of The Mouse House.
