Villa-Tour
On the first Sunday of every month, from November to April
From Sumatra and the scent of paradise to a dream home and a building due for demolition. Accompanied by ‘Johann’, the ‘eternal butler’, we set out to trace the eventful history of Patumbah Park and Villa. Why does the house have such a strange name? Where does all this splendour come from, and who lived here? ‘Johann’ can tell you all about it – after all, he has been in the villa’s service since 1885. A theatrical tour through the park and villa, including the second floor with its Asian gallery, for young and old alike (ages 6 and over).
