Venue Hire

Teylers Museum offers a unique and inspiring environment for different types of events and meetings. With its beautiful 18th-century architecture and extensive art and science collections, the museum is a very suitable location for both business and private events.

Meetings for Intellectual Dialogue and Debate in the Lecture Room

At Teylers Museum, there is abundant room available for intellectual dialogue and debate in authentic surroundings. The museum has a long-standing tradition in this regard.

Auditorium

Lecture Room

The 19th-century Lecture Room on the first floor has a classic lecture room design, large enough for up to 100 people. In this room, Teylers curators, including Nobel Prize winner Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, presented many public lectures and demonstrations. The room is equipped with the most up-to-date facilities, including a computer, a beamer and audio. During meetings in the Lecture Room, staff provide (technical) support.

Would you like to combine a lecture or presentation with a reception or drinks? In that case the Lecture Room will hold up to 75 people.
