Description: Every leading hospital in the Netherlands has an art collection, whose main purpose is to create a pleasant, attractive environment for patients and their loved ones, staff and students. Buying works of art usually also helps put the hospital on the map. The University Medical Centre Nijmegen would like to point out one additional facet of its art collection, some of whose finest items are presented in this splending book: many of the works on display in the hospital are 'in dialogue' with medecine, in all its various aspects - not just treatment, but also training and research. The history of medicine, developments in medical technology, reflections on the human body and care of the patient - all these can be found in the hospital's varied collection.
