About

This museum depot was the place where items not displayed within Leiden's Boerhaave Museum and Naturalis Biodiversity Center were held, though its stock has since dwindled. As of 2019, only pieces from the Boerhaave Museum are housed here. It offers a behind-the-scenes look at the museum's items that are otherwise unavailable for public viewing.
