Museum of the Mind Dolhuys, Mental health museum in Haarlem, Netherlands.
The Museum of the Mind features exhibits about mental health through interactive displays, personal narratives, and historical medical artifacts across two locations.
Originally constructed as a leprosarium in medieval times, this building later served as a plague house and psychiatric hospital throughout different historical periods.
The museum presents artworks, scientific discoveries, and individual accounts that demonstrate the evolution of mental health understanding in society.
Visitors can access audio guides in multiple languages while exploring both the Haarlem location and the Amsterdam branch dedicated to outsider art.
The museum maintains a preserved isolation chamber from the 16th century that demonstrates historical approaches to mental health treatment.
