Utrecht University Museum

The Bleuland Cabinet was the first exhibit we visited inside the university museum. There were wax replicas of human body parts and skeletons of deformed children with hydrocephalus with large skulls or vitamin D deficiency that cause bones to bend or adults with spinal deformitits that were all collected by a professor. and most if not all the specimens in that room were two hundred years old or more.  The Collection o Curiosities was my favorite because I am a Animal Science major and most of the places we have been visiting don't have much on animals which I expected on this trip but it was nice to be able to see an exhibit focusing more on animals.
