"Miffy (Dutch: Nijntje) is a fictional rabbit appearing in a series of picture books drawn and written by Dutch artist Dick Bruna. The original Dutch name, "Nijntje", is a shortening of the diminutive konijntje, "little rabbit".
The first Miffy book was produced in 1955, and almost 30 others have followed. In total they have sold over 85 million copies, and led to two separate television series as well as items such as clothes and toys featuring the character. A feature-length film, Miffy the Movie, was released on 30 January 2013.
Four television series based on the character have been produced: Dick Bruna's Miffy Storybook Classics, which ran from 1984 to 1992; Miffy: Colors, Numbers, and Shapes from 1996; Miffy and Friends from 2003; and Miffy's Adventures Big and Small from 2015."

The museum's website (

"Children should be given the space to follow their own curiosity. To discover and explore independently in a safe environment. This was also Dick Bruna, the spiritual father of miffy. His philosophy is leading in the miffy museum; a contemporary children's museum that brings the merry world of miffy to life. Toddlers and preschoolers can explore on their own. Together with miffy and her friends they discover their own world and learn to understand it better.
Miffy Museum guarantees a complete cultural discovery: active, receptive and reflective. Never pedantic, but always playful."
