Weekend van de Wetenschap: The Doctor's Bag
In the time of Herman Boerhaave (1668-1738), it was difficult to find out if you were sick. The thermometer had barely been invented. So how did doctors know what was wrong with you? And how come we actually get sick?
In the time of Herman Boerhaave (1668-1738), it was difficult to find out if you were sick. The thermometer had barely been invented. So how did doctors know what was wrong with you? And how come we actually get sick? With Rijksmuseum Boerhaave's new family activity The Doctor's Bag, you'll tackle these and other questions together. The Doctor's Bag is a free activity for families with children aged 8 to 12. Always so curious about what's in the doctor's bag anyway? Set off with your own doctor's bag through Rijksmuseum Boerhaave and discover the wonderful world of your own body. Listen to your own heartbeat and see if you can work as precisely as a surgeon.
