Mienke Simon Thomas demonstrates the collector’s cabinet
The collector’s cabinet, which is a collection of naturalia and artificialia, is the forerunner of the museum. Mienke Simon Thomas, senior curator of decorative arts and design, shows a beautiful example of a collector’s cabinet from the 17th century by Herman Doomer. The cabinet is decorated with tulips, a symbol of wealth. Doomer was so much respected that he and his wife were both painted by Rembrandt.
