Review of Museum Meermanno

This bookish museum occupies a 19th-century townhouse with formal garden. Part of the collection was assembled by Baron W. van Westreenen, whose home it was. His book collection includes rare medieval manuscripts and early examples of the printed book. On his travels, van Westrenen amassed objects from ancient Egypt, Rome, and Greece, among them mummies, statues of deities, and coins. In the garden house are temporary exhibits of modern typography and displays explaining the printing process.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
