Abstract:
The Vrolik Museum is the Amsterdam anatomical museum, and originates from the private collection of Gerard Vrolik (1775-1859) and his son Willem (1801-1863). Over the years the attitude towards anatomical specimens has changed and the museum changed along with it. Since 1984 the museum has been located in the Amsterdam Academic Medical Centre. It is closed at the moment until May 2012 for refurbishment and is receiving a facelift. Not only will the permanent exhibitions be expanded, new displays about the history of the museum and its collectors will be added. After the refurbishment the museum hopes to reach the general public more than has been possible in the past.
