I’ve never managed a visit to the Anton Pieck Museum in Hattem myself, (it’s on the to-do list) but now would be a perfect time to go, because until the end of February 2021 they have an Efteling exhibition running. It is called ‘Once Upon a Time…’ and it centres around the early years of the park.

There are, as you’d expect, a lot of Pieck’s drawings included in the exhibition, of both concept art for various fairy tales in the park as well as drawings which show the inner workings of some of the stories such as Langnek and The Magic Clock. Alongside these drawings are various props (including a very large frog and a very small pair of gnome trousers) and some merchandise which has been available over the years (including 2019’s Winter Langnek jumper).

Also included are concept drawings for a haunted house, which would later become Spookslot.

Here’s a tour of the exhibition for those of us who can’t attend:

If you want to take a trip to the museum, you must book a ticket first at www.antonpieckmuseum.nl

Unfortunately even the subtitles are in Dutch, but if you don’t understand the language, you can still gather most of what is going on!

Ton-van-der-Ven-WerktafelLXWe are saddened to learn today that the former Efteling designer Ton van de Ven has passed away suddenly at 71 years old following a stroke.

He was responsible for the design of many attractions in Efteling, including Spookslot (his first), Droomvlucht, Fata Morgana, Villa Volta, Vogel Rok, and many fairy tales in the Sprookjesbos.

He worked with Anton Pieck during his early years at the park, translating Pieck’s drawings into the attractions that we see today.  In 1989 he became the creative director of Efteling.  Although taking early retirement from Efteling in 2003, he would sometimes make appearances at the park during special events. Ton van de Ven PleinThe corner of the park where you can find Droomvlucht and Villa Volta was named ‘Ton van de Ven Plein’ in later years, just as there is an ‘Anton Pieck Plein’ in another part of the park; a very high honour.

The world has lost an inspirational designer, who will be remembered for his unique creative talent which will continue to be enjoyed by all who visit Efteling.

A while ago, we were asked if we wanted to write an article for MiceChat.com about Efteling.  So of course we couldn’t pass up the opportunity!  We asked you all to send us your thoughts on Efteling, and a few of you did, which we included in the article.  Today, it was published on the site, and we’re happy to share it with you now 🙂
