In 2016, the museum published the monumental book Church interiors in the Netherlands, in which a hundred iconic church interiors are highlighted.

From their mission to draw attention to the Christian heritage together with partners, they are the basis of the project together with seventeen beautiful monuments of various denominations. The churches and synagogues stand out for their special history, architecture and works of art. From an idyllic village church in the countryside to an impressive medieval basilica in the middle of the city. From world famous stained glass windows to colorful roof to floor painted interiors. All religiously active churches and synagogues that deserve a 'Michelin star'. St. Jan in Waalwijk is one of the churches.
