Naturalis joins this year's Weekend van de Wetenschap (weekend of science). In our museum hall LiveScience we run an exciting program on October 7 & 8. Visits to LiveScience are free of charge.
Things to do
You can see the people in our dinolab at work on real dinosaur fossils. You can ask them anything about their work and about dinosaurs in general!
In the "work street" you can see Naturalis workers doing research or describing the museum collection. Of course, you're free to ask them anything as well.
There are a number of lectures on a new book called 'De wereld in het klein'.
The program
At 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00 there will be interactive lectures on this book about the Dutch landscape. The authors will present their work together with Naturalis' scientific director prof. dr. Koos Biesmeijer. The lectures will be in Dutch.
Weekend of Science
On October 7 and 8 oktober the yearly Weekend of Science is held all over the Netherlands. Museums, libraries, universities and many more organize family friendly and often free science-based activities. The full program can be found on www.weekendvandewetenschap.nl (but at the time of writing only in Dutch).
