Every November I travel to Leiden, The Netherlands, to participate at the Leiden Model United Nations Conference (LEMUN ). Sometimes during those four days I have a few hours to take photos, and I'm going to show you some of them in this album.

Charles Baudelaire: Á une passante (To a Passerby)

In a project running between 1995 and 2005 some of the firewalls in Leiden were decorated with poems. This one is one of the less grotesque pieces by the famed French poet Baudelaire, a lot more fitting on a street wall than The Carcass, for example.

The University of Leiden

The building is named after Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, one of my favourite pyhsicists, the liquefactor of Helium and the discoverer of superfluidity. He is one of the most positive heroes of science and his duel with the arrogant British Dewar for the first liquefaction of the inert gases is one of the most intriguing episodes of the history of sciences. The helium liquefactor, which consumed thousands of litres of liquid nitrogen as a pre-coolant, can be seen at Boerhaave Museum in Leiden.
