Many reviewers highlight the interactive displays and multimedia presentations that make the content accessible to a broader audience. The temporary exhibitions often receive praise for their creativity and relevance. However, some visitors note that the museum might be more engaging for those with a prior interest in literature or fluency in Dutch, as not all materials are translated into other languages. The staff is generally described as knowledgeable and helpful. While the museum may not be on every tourist's must-see list, it is highly regarded by literature enthusiasts and those interested in Flemish culture.
