The Ultimate Mouse House



Karina Schapman wrote the Mouse Mansion children's book series about two mice, Sam and Julia. She has created a miniature museum in Amsterdam which welcomes you to their world and brings the original settings of the books to life. There is a mouse harbour with large warehouses, canals, docks, bridges and boats. You can visit a library, a theatre, tiny businesses and a carnival with a mouse roller coaster. 


When Karina was a child her mother did not have the money to buy toys. Once a month, on ‘garbage day’, they would pick up stuff from the street and build crazy things together. Sam and Julia's world grew out of these early efforts.



The Mouse Mansion YouTube Channel shows you how to build your own mouse house if you feel so inclined.
