Multatuli means I suffered a lot. It's a pseudonym for the Dutch writer Eduard Douwes Dekker, who was around more than a century ago. His work has a great impact even today, as a result of his most famous book Max Havelaar - one of the most important classics in the history of Dutch literature. This museum houses all of his works and some of his personal belongings (his sofa, for example). Go back in time with Multatuli!
