Rijksmuseum Boerhaave

The Rijksmuseum Boerhaave collections reflect five centuries of scientific history in the Netherlands and show what science is all about: curiosity, guts, creativity and perseverance.

This is reflected in masterpieces, including the microscopes by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, the first pendulum clock by Christiaan Huygens, the world’s oldest heliocentric planetarium, anatomical specimens and objects by Dutch Nobel Prize winners.
