The Rijksmuseum: of great value to the whole world and a treasure house for research – not only in the field of the humanities. Umberto Olcese (Department of Neuroscience of the UvA Faculty of Science) tells about the wonder of why instead of just seeing strokes of paint and coloured spots we actually can see recognisable images, or at least, that is what our brain makes us to believe. Denise Duijster, from the Academic Dental Centre Amsterdam (ACTA), will take us on a guided art tour through the historical development of dentistry. The Rijksmuseum itself has several paintings and prints in its collection that give great insight in how dental problems and pains were experienced and treated, from centuries ago up to now.
