Peter Delpeut
Friend of Teylers Museum

'I never visited Teylers Museum as a child. What an omission! What could be more marvellous for children than all those strange pieces of equipment, gleaming stones and the skulls of extinct animals? In Teylers there are real things to set you day-dreaming, in rooms in which the floorboards creak mysteriously. You don't need to be a child to continue to experience that. I have seen a great deal of the world, but if you want to breathe the scent of the past, Teylers is unique.'
