Teylers Museum: art and science side by side

Teylers Museum in Haarlem brings together art, natural science and historical instruments. The museum galleries and Pieter Teylers Huis offer different spaces for approaching that wide-ranging collection.

Plan your visit ↗

Understanding an instrument

With a scientific instrument, function is at least as important as appearance. Read which action or measurement it is used to explain, so that a complicated construction gains a concrete purpose.

A different view of art

Art on the same museum route calls for a different way of looking. Give time to the visual art as well as the natural-science sections, without reducing everything to one kind of collection.

The house as well

Pieter Teylers Huis is an additional part of what is on offer. Check which route is possible and how much time you want to set aside for it alongside the other museum galleries.

Before you go

Check for extra Monday openings in the holidays and shortened holiday hours. Discuss the accessibility of the museum and the house separately before you plan a full route.
