    Een prachtig museum! Erg leuk om zoveel te weten te komen over Carel Willink. Niet alleen vanwege de mooie collectie, maar ook vanwege het gebouw (en de geschiedenis ervan) is dit museum zeker een bezoek waard. Na afloop van het museumbezoek is het heerlijk toeven op het terras van de oranjerie en in de tuin.
