Human Mutants

[nona suomy]

Did anyone see this and can anyone tell me the name of the museum in Amsterdam where the exhibits were. Very fascinating programme - if a little disturbing.

It was the MUSEUM VROLIK at the Academic Medical Centre/Universiteit van Amsterdam, has its origins in the beautiful collection of anatomical, pathological, teratological (the study of monsters -which genetic mutations were first known as) and zoological specimen of the two professors Vrolik, father and son. After son Willem's death in 1863 the collection was acquired by a committee of citizens and saved for Amsterdam. It has been used for academic and non-academic education since.
