Collection
Note: section development in progress
The Boerhaave Museum is running a project to document approx. 3000 objects in its collection online, with pictures and descriptions for every single object. In April 2010 the site featured over 1750 objects, ordered by room and showcase. This overview is in large part based on the museum's online documentation.
The museum has 25 rooms, which are by and large organised chronologically, with thematical subgroupings per room.
