The fans, with richly decorated frames and finely painted surfaces, are shown in small theme-oriented exhibitions. On the upper floors of the museum, temporary exhibitions are regularly presented, ranging from cultural historical themes to contemporary art. Regular cultural events are also organised such as concerts, poetry evenings and readings. On the first Sunday of the month at 13.00, 14.00 and 15.00 pm, Willem Boreel and his wife Maris and their maid Saar receive guests at Beeckestijn. Visitors are invited to enter into the role of 18th century servants and residents to explore daily life of the period.
Visitors can picnic in the gardens during the spring and summer.
The picnic comprises a bicycle trip or walk through the estate, a visit to the museum and a well filled picnic basket. With its rich, diverse combination of interior and exterior, the Beeckestijn country estate gives an excellent impression of the country lives of wealthy merchants and Amsterdam's regent families.
