Golden Ages in Arabia and Holland
Tour Museum Boerhaave, Leiden

Picture
To celebrate ‘400 years of Arabic in Leiden’, Museum Boerhaave (the Dutch National Museum for the History of Science and Medicine) designed the  temporary museum tour 'Golden Ages of Arabia and Holland' along selected objects that testify the (often unfamiliar) Islamic origin of well known scientific and medical inventions that we hold as the products of Western ingenuity.

The tour comes with a commemorative booklet providing concise explanations on the objects and other related facts.

The tour lasts until 28 September 2014

INVITATION
As a reader of our website, we welcome you to join the festive opening of the tour on Thursday 27 March at 15.30.
There'll be a lecture on 'Leiden and the history of Islamic civilisation' after which you'll have the opportunity to do the 'Golden Ages' tour yourself and have a drink.
Admission is free but please register at www.museumboerhaave.nl/arabia

We thank Saudi Aramco for their support in making 'Golden Ages in Arabia and Holland' possible.
