A museum freak like me could not miss the oldest museum (1784) in the Netherlands open to the public.
Pieter Tyler van der Hulst, active in the textile industry, was a representative of the "Enlightenment" and showed much interest for science and arts.
The unusual combination of science and arts makes this museum so interesting. Furthermore the building, the exhibition rooms with their display cabinets, have been preserved like they were in the 19th.c. Remarkable is the "Oval room".
Modern wings have been added to the museum.
I will detail further the three main sections of the collections:
1° The fossils and minerals.
2° The scientific instruments
3° Art works
Open: Tuesday - Saturday 10 - 17 h (closed on Mondays), Sunday 12 - 17 h.
Price: Adults 7,- €, 6 - 17 yr 2,- €, Museum Kaart free.
Photos allowed except in rooms 7 and 12.

This seemed to me the most interesting part of the museum (rooms 3 - 6). The collection of about 1200 instruments mainly from the 18th and 19th c. belongs mostly to physics.
These instruments are not only witnesses of the scientific discoveries of these past centuries but the way they have been manufactured often from brass, glass and wood show the expertise and aesthetic sense of the craftsman who manufactured them accoding to the blueprints of the scientist.
A large number of these instruments were used for experiments on electricity, especially static electricity.
Amusing is the fact that in the 18th c. discoveries on optics and static electricity were used by magicians for their tricks. There was in that time a so called "physique amusante"; scientific experiments for family entertainment.
From 23/06 to 21/10/2007 the museum shows such experiments under the theme of "Proefjes".

Strange enough this museum of sciences is also the oldest museum on Modern Dutch paintings. In 1830 started the exhibition of Dutch masters from that century.
Rooms 9 - 10 show about one hundred paintings from the Dutch romantic and realist period and the Dutch impressionist schools of Den Haag and Amsterdam.
The Dutch 19th c. has excellent painters not enough know outside the Netherlands. They were normally on view at the Rijksmuseum but with the works they have disappeared somewhere.
I was therefore very pleased to see here at the Teylers museum a numbers of works I ignored.

Rooms 1 and 2 show a collection of fossils in display cabinets of the 19th.c. It remembered my first visit to a museum when I was a kid. These rooms are a museum in the museum as well as the oval room with the minerals. I think most people visit them not for the content but for the internal architecture and furniture.
The lightning of these rooms is natural; better don't visit in wintertime.

This is the oldest public museum in the netherlands (1784).
Everything that is exposed in this museum once belonged to the private collection of Pieter Teyler van der Hulst (1702-1778). He was a rich producer of sheets and silk from Haarlem. The museum has been named after him.
The museum shows a beautifull collection of art and science objects for example: Minerals, fossiles, drawings, paintings, books, coins, science instruments.
The exterior of the building looks very wealthy as you can see on the picture. The museum is surrounded by Dutch monumental houses and it's situated next to the river Spaarne. Nice location for a "photo stop".
The interior is very nice as well, especially the "Ovale zaal".
Entrance:
-Adult : 5,50 euro
-Groups (min. 20 pers) : 4,00 euro
-5-18 years old : 1,00 euro

He had a great interest in art and science. He create on both of this issues a large collection, from the spirit that he can enrich mankind.
In his wil he left all his money to a found that improve art and science.
The foundation decide to build a museum to show the collection from Pieter Teyler.

Text taken from website:
Welcome to the Teyler Museum, the Netherlands' oldest museum (1784). A visit to the Teyler Museum is a like voyage through time, a voyage of discovery in the world of art and science. A stroll through the museum takes you from drawings, prints and paintings to fossils and minerals, from scientific instuments to coins and medals. You will meet Diluvian Man and the Mosasaurus. If you are lucky, a drawing by Michelangelo or Rembrandt will be on display in the Printroom. With a little imagination, you may see sparks flying from the world's largest electrostatic generator. Unique to this museum is the historical presentation of its collections, largely unchanged since the late 18th and 19th centuries. As a whole, the building and the collections are a monument to two centuries of cultural history.
