The exhibition revolves around four scientists who took advantage of the VOC to increase their knowledge. Dutch astronaut André Kuipers reflects on their stories as a contemporary explorer.
The floorpan of the exhibition is intended for the visitor to discover. From the entrance a funnel leads to a central showcase. From here the surrounding spaces remain mostly hidden. Only small parts are visible, inter alia, through showcases with ship models in the walls separating them from the main space.
