Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie information


The Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie (left) on the Rapenburg in 1880. The building on the right is the Physisch Kabinet which was used for demonstrations of physics and public lectures.

The Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie[1] (National Museum of Natural History) was a museum on the Rapenburg in Leiden, the Netherlands. It was founded in 1820 by Royal Decree from a merger of several existing collections. This happened on the initiative of Coenraad Jacob Temminck, who saw the museum primarily as a research institute for the University of Leiden. The total collection was already quite large at the time, and continued to grow from foreign expeditions and by obtaining private collections from inheritances. The location is currently used by the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden.
