Extraordinary history
The Pavilion has an extraordinary history. Built in 1876, it once accommodated patients suffering from infectious diseases who were nursed at the former University Hospital of Leiden, which now houses the museum collection.
During the 1930s the hospital relocated to a larger building after which Volkenkunde moved into the premises. Two of the three pavilions were demolished, the third one was converted into an official residence. Next, the Pavilion served all kinds of purposes varying from storage rooms to a library. It found its present use once the restoration work was finally completed in 2009.
