Magnus Museum Mysteries

Vermeer Centrum

Fraudulent Vermeer

A tailor-made treasure hunt for the Vermeer Center in which visitors look for the fraudulent piece of art by Vermeer with the help of Magnus. The booklet was developed in collaboration with Bekking and Blitz and after an initial investigation it turned out that visitors enjoy the Vermeer Center much more through this quest and gain a lot of knowledge about Vermeer and his art.

Wise creature tidbits!
