Museum Boerhaave:

National Museum for the History of Science and Medicine Founded in 1928 Present location: 1991 Collection: 100,000 artefacts, books, paintings, etc. (permanent exhibition: 2000) Staff: 35 FTE

Mission:

Based on its unique, magnificent collection, Museum Boerhaave aspires to appeal to a rich and varied audience, to excite and educate them, in a way that is fun for them. In this regard, the museum's constant aim is to dovetail with current events, never losing sight of the goal of creating support for science in society.

Museum Boerhaave new style:

  • It’s all about the real thing
  • Nothing can compete with the historical sensation
  • Don’t worship artefacts in isolation, but incorporate them into fascinating

stories

  • Don’t concentrate on technical explanations but offer relevant contexts

Other ingredients of these stories:

  • Pictures
  • Film clips
  • Archive material
  • Interactive displays
  • Augmented reality
  • Models
  • Games
