Oval Room, Chemical Landmark exhibition room in Teylers Museum, Haarlem, Netherlands
The Oval Room features high ceilings, large windows, and dedicated spaces showcasing scientific instruments from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Martinus van Marum conducted experiments with the Large Electrostatic Generator in this room, validating Lavoisier's chemical theory before its publication in 1787.
The room serves as a bridge between art and science, displaying both historical scientific equipment and temporary exhibitions on chemical discoveries.
Visitors can access guided tours of the Oval Room every day except Monday, with detailed explanations of the historical instruments and chemical processes.
The room houses the original Large Electrostatic Generator, which remains in its initial position since installation in the late 1780s.
