Vrolik Museum in Amsterdam
An anatomical collection dedicated to human mutants. Possibly the largest collection of human deformities in one place, the University of Amsterdam’s anatomical and embryological museum began as the private teratological collection of Gerardus Vrolik (1755-1859) and his son Willem Vrolik (1801-1863). Both were professors of anatomy at the Athenaeum Illustre, the predecessor of the University of Amsterdam.
Visit to Amsterdam City, Hortus Botanicus 2017 Netherlands Travel
#Hortus #Botanicus is a botanical garden in the Plantage district of #Amsterdam, the #Netherlands. One of the oldest in the world, it is one of Amsterdam's major tourist attractions.
Hortus Botanicus was founded in 1638 by the city to serve as an herb garden for doctors and apothecaries. It contains more than six thousand tropical and indigenous trees and plants. The monumental Palm House dates from 1912 and is renowned for its collection of cycads.
The hexagonal pavilion dates from the late 1600s. The entrance gate was built in the early 1700s. The Orangery dates from 1875, and the Palm House and Hugo de Vries Laboratory - both created in Amsterdam School expressionist architecture - date from 1912 and 1915.
The garden was almost bankrupt in 1987 when the University of Amsterdam stopped paying its expenses, but a community of individual supporters prevented its closure. Now the Hortus Botanicus is supported by the Amsterdam City Council as well.
There are also two halls at the garden which are now used for conferences and ceremonies, and a cafe serves as meeting point for locals.
Hortus Botanicus is now a popular attraction for both Dutch and international visitors. The collection is famous for some of its trees and plants, some of which are on the danger list. Well-known plants and trees can be found there, like the Persian ironwood tree which is known in Dutch as Perzische Parrotia.
Hortus Botanicus's initial collection was amassed during the 17th century through plants and seeds brought back by traders of the East India Company (VOC) for use as medicines and for their possibilities for commerce. A single coffee plant, Coffea arabica, in Hortus's collection served as the parent for the entire coffee culture in Central and South America.
Likewise, two small potted oil palms brought back by the VOC from Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean, produced seeds after six years, and these were propagated throughout all of Southeast Asia, becoming a major source of revenue in the Dutch East Indies and now in Indonesia.
Hugo de Vries was the director of the garden during 1885–1918.
Recent additions to Hortus include a huge hothouse, which incorporates three different tropical climates.

Creepiest Museum in the World: Vrolik Amsterdam
Vrolik Museum is absolutely the creepiest museum in world since it is home to the largest collection of human mutants and anatomic malformations.
The collection is very extensive and is primarily used by medical students, I personally find this the most impressive museum in Amsterdam especially on an educational level.
Please treat this museum with respect while visiting!

Mooie oude filmbeelden van een winters Amsterdam bedekt onder een dikke laag sneeuw en Amsterdammers die sneeuw aan het ruimen zijn en op het ijs van de grachten schaatsen. De strenge winter in het begin van 1940 was dusdanig streng dat zelfs de Amstel dichtvroor: . Met voornamelijk winterse taferelen van de Amsterdamse binnenstad en de grachtengordel. Verder zien we sneeuwgevechten door de jeugd, poort van Amsterdamse Atheneum ofwel Athenaeum Illustre 1632-1921 aan de Oudezijds Voorburgwal, de Haarlemmerpoort, Ronde Koepelkerk aan de Singel, een vuurkorf voor het Koninklijk Paleis op de Dam, jongens die ijshockey spelen op een gracht.
Mocht je één of meerdere van de andere locaties herkennen, dan horen we dat graag van je.

A curious collection dedicated to human and animal anatomical mutations.
Possibly the largest collection of human deformities in one place, the University of Amsterdam’s anatomical and embryological museum began as the private teratological collection of Gerardus Vrolik (1755-1859) and his son Willem Vrolik (1801-1863). Both were professors of anatomy at the Athenaeum Illustre, the predecessor of the University of Amsterdam.
Teratology is the study of deformity, a popular subject for anatomists in the 18th and 19th centuries. Willem wrote extensively on deformities, including cyclopia, the pathogenesis of congenital anomalies, and conjoined twins. His personal collection of specimens built onto that of his father, resulting in several thousand items left behind at his death.
The collection was purchased by the city of Amsterdam in 1869 and eventually found its home at the university. Other anatomical collections have been added to the museum over the years, including a collection of bone pathology, a dental collection, and other teratological specimens. There are also a number of animal specimens in the collection.
Since 1994, 150 specimens displaying anatomical oddities or deformations have been on display.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Joost van den Vondel -- Gedicht: Ton Lutz leest 'Vertroostinghe aan Geeraerdt Vossius'.
Dit geluidsfragment werd jaren geleden overgenomen van een oude vinylplaat (wellicht een 10-inch) die dateert uit de jaren zestig. De opname zelf is mogelijk nog ouder.
De spelling van de tekst op het scherm werd overgenomen van de tekst van Vondels Verscheide Gedichten 1644 zoals ik die vond bij de dbnl.
Gerardus Vossius (1577-1649), een der grootste Nederlandse geleerden van de 17e eeuw, beroemd hellenist en latinist, professor aan het Athenaeum Illustre te Amsterdam, was zeer bevriend met Vondel. In 1635 strierf zijn veelbelovende zoon Dionysius op 21-jarige leeftijd. Om Vossius te eren was hem de waardigheid van kanunnik te Kantelberg (Canterbury in Zuidoost-Engeland) verleend.
