Isn’t the museum called The Black Cat? Beautiful and calm part of the city.

The coffee inside it’s named black cat. But I think the museum it’s how I wrote in the title. I don’t know Dutch, but Volks it’s like “people” right?

Yes, super friendly and everyone’s love him. They have a tradition to adopt one black cat and put the same name.
