Description:On Thursday 5 November 2009, the book 'Verzamelaars van vorm' was presented during The Anatomy Lesson in the Concertgebouw. This book gives an impression in word and image of Museum Vrolik at the AMC.Museum Vrolikianum was widely known among medical specialists and scientists in the nineteenth century, both within and outside the Netherlands. When visitng Amsterdam, they were always keen to come and marvel at the 5,000 preparations that Vrolik and his son, both professors at the Athenaeum Illustre, had collected. A collection of items ranging from curious miscarried foetuses to the skeletons of healthy and ill people, and of all manner of strange and not-so-strange animals.Little did the founders know that they were on the threshold of a revolution in the natural sciences. After the Vroliks, specimens relating to congenital preparations, diseases and comparative anatomy were never again brought together in a systematic way. The Vrolik collection is therefore a true time capsule from the period preceding the major medical and scientific developments that heralded a new age, epitomized by the publication of Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Uniquely for the Netherlands, the Vroliks' collection of curiosities, now housed at the AMC, has remained intact over the centuries. New generations of anatomists have made additions to the collection, reflecting their own scientific and didactic interests. As a result, the collection that is known today as 'Museum Vrolik' has grown to encompass ten thousand amazing, fascinating and sometimes macabre objects.In Verzamelaars van vorm (Amsterdam University Press), Laurens de Rooy, Luuc Kooijmans, Annet Mooij and Roelof-Jan Oostra set out the history of the anatomical collecting in Amsterdam. The many photos by Hans van den Bogaard provide an unparalleled illustration of the 'gems' from the collections of the Vroliks and their successors.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
