Jan Kruis Museum, Comic art museum in Orvelte, Netherlands.
The Jan Kruis Museum displays extensive collections of original drawings, comics, and illustrations created throughout the career of Dutch cartoonist Jan Kruis.
The museum opened in 2019 following earlier failed attempts to establish it in Westerbork and Witteveen, finally finding its home after the Apple Museum relocated.
The museum exhibits numerous portraits of influential Dutch figures, including Marten Toonder, Mies Bouman, Willem Duys, and members of the royal family.
The museum charges entrance fees of 4.50 euros for adults and 1.50 euros for children between 4 and 12 years old, while children under 4 enter free.
Visitors can learn drawing techniques at dedicated tables while following step-by-step instructions from Jan Kruis displayed on large screens throughout the museum.
