Always wanted to visit here but somehow never made it till today ! Such a pleasent experience. The museum was not crowded , and hence it was nice to take time and look around. The museum is a mix of art, science and history and is really nice to read through the information available about the pieces on display. We saw this on open Monument Day and definitely liked it. My kids enjoyed the science bit , watching the fossils was being part of history. Definite must visit once 👍

This is the oldest museum in The Netherlands which never closed the doors since opening. The collection starts with rocks and bones than continued with experimentation instruments and machines. Gorgeous Oval room and library. Than you can discover gorgeous houses with rich interiors. And it’s still not all. There are 2 art galleries. This is the only museum in The Netherlands which owns Michelangelo’s 26 paintings. Highly recommended
