The collection of drawings in Teylers Museum is known for its great selection of Dutch masters. From November 4th some highlights of that collection are on show.

In this, you can find artists like Jacques de Gheyn, Abraham Bloemaert, David Vinckboons, Karel van Mander and Matthijs and Paul Bril. But also to star artist Hendrick Goltzius, of which the museum has no less than 125 works. Teylers owns the most comprehensive collection Goltzius drawings in the world.
