The anatomical collections and old scientific instruments are often mentioned as particularly interesting. Some visitors note that the museum provides a good balance between academic history and general scientific knowledge.

    However, some reviewers mention that the museum is relatively small and can be explored in a short amount of time. A few visitors find certain areas of the museum to be somewhat dated or in need of renovation. Additionally, some international visitors note that not all information is available in English, which can limit the experience for non-Dutch speakers.
