How to get where?
Hotel Binnenhof is in the Maria Theresiastraat, that almost directly leads to the station.
The address oft he Faculty of Arts is Blijde-Inkomststraat 21. It is a big, grey, concrete building and is
very hard to miss. From hotel Binnenhof in the Maria Theresiastraat you can reach it as displayed on
the map underneath. Thus, when you leave the hotel, you go to your right (away from the station).
Room LETT 08.16, the “Justus Lipsiuszaal” is on the eight floor.
The other important location is MSI (short for Mgr. Sencie-Instituut) is nearby the Faculty of Arts. Its
address is Erasmusplein 2. You only have to walk across the parking of the faculty. The building has a
white banner with “MSI” on it. MSI 02.08, the “Museumzaal”, is on the second floor.
