Teylers Museum
Teylers Museum is an art, natural history, and science museum in Haarlem, Netherlands. Established in 1778, Teylers Museum was founded as a centre for contemporary art and science. The historic centre of the museum is the neoclassical Oval Room (1784), which was built behind the house of Pieter Teyler van der Hulst (1702–1778), the so-called Fundatiehuis (Foundation House). Pieter Teyler was a wealthy cloth merchant and banker of Scottish descent, who bequeathed his fortune for the advancement of religion, art, and science. He was a Mennonite and follower of the Scottish Enlightenment.

It was a nice tranquil tour with audio infoation in two languages (Dutch and English). Unfortunately foe us there was a very loud extended family of 8 who talked LOUDLY throughout the ride, making it unpleasant for all the ofher passengers. I wish the driver had asked them to lower their voices at least. The covered option was nixe as there was a cold wind starting up.

A good 50 minute tour of the canals. Our driver/guide was good although a little hard to understand the English.
