Reigniting the Dutch Legacy of Discovery.
Reclaiming the Dutch Golden Age of Microbiology for 21st-Century STEM
350 years after Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, microbiology is still missing from the classroom.
In 1676, a Delft draper revealed an entire living world inside a drop of water. Today, students learn about atoms and gravity — but rarely the microbes that keep them alive. The Leeuwenhoek Lab exists to close that gap, with hands-on science rooted in the Dutch tradition of curious, careful observation.
