This is a BEAUTIFUL building with just a very interesting collection of science and natural history objects. The setting is so different and gorgeous it is worth a visit if you are in town. More

Teylers Museum in Haarlem, the Netherlands owns a time machine. Not literally, of course, but as you step into the entry hall you are transported to what a museum would look like in the 19th Century.
