The key moment was the decision in 1779 to give a free interpretation to the testament of its founder, the Mennonite entrepreneur Pieter Teyler van der Hulst (1702-1778): stimulated by the naturalist Martinus van Marum, the Foundation's board decided to build an impressive museum room and to establish a natural science collection. The institution thus entered an era in which older scientific and collecting traditions engaged with new developments towards a research institution and a public museum of natural history, physics and art"--Provided by publisher.History of science and medicine library.Scientific and learned cultures and their institutions ;Volume 29.Learned institutions and societiesNetherlandsHaarlemNetherlandsIntellectual life18th centuryLearned institutions and societies068.492Meijers DeboraBergvelt EllinoorMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910794383903321Teyler's Foundation in Haarlem and its 'Book and Art Room' of 17793679012UNINA
