Christiaan under the Stars
Exhibition
Christiaan Huygens is regarded as one of the most influential scientists in the Netherlands. He lived at Hofwijck during the last eight years of his life.
Saturn
Now, in the attic where he kept his collection of telescopes, visitors can view the exhibition Christiaan under the Stars. Surrounded by authentic 17th-century telescopes and clocks, adults and children alike can discover and experiment, just as Christiaan himself once did. What is the secret behind his invention of the pendulum clock? How did Christiaan discover the ring around Saturn? What is the principle behind the magic lantern? And what was Christiaan's life like at Hofwijck?
