Multatuli Museum
Description
Multatuli means "I suffered a lot" and was used as a pseudonym for the Dutch writer Eduard Douwes Dekker, who lived a century ago during the era of Dutch colonialism. His life experience during this period influenced his work and has a great impact even today, as a result of his most famous book, Max Havelaar - one of the most important classics in the history of Dutch literature. This museum houses all of his works and some of his personal belongings and furniture (his sofa, for example). Go back in time with Multatuli!
