Trophy Cabinet
In the exhibition Trophy Cabinet, the scientific heritage of Dutch Nobel laureates takes center stage.
Scientific prizes
Trophy Cabinet showcases prestigious awards, such as the Nobel Prize, the Kavli Prize, and the Spinoza and Stevin Prizes from the Dutch Research Council (NWO). But the exhibition goes beyond individual stories, highlighting the powerful collaborations that have led to major scientific breakthroughs. Often, the stories of female scientists and the essential role of instrument makers remain in the background of these great discoveries, but this exhibition also shines a light on their invaluable contributions.
The exhibition underscores that science is not merely the product of individual genius, but rather the result of teamwork and collective effort. It is a tribute to how collaboration between different disciplines and individuals has enabled scientific progress. Special attention is also given to diversity in science, with an emphasis on the often-overlooked contributions of female scientists.
Trophy Cabinet offers an inspiring glimpse into the history of Dutch science, where personal excellence and innovative collaboration come together to achieve groundbreaking discoveries. After your visit, you will have a deeper understanding of the remarkable history and many faces of scientific success.
