Leiden is home to the oldest university in the Netherlands, founded in 1575 by William of Orange as a reward for the city's resistance during the Spanish siege, and its buildings still cluster around the Rapenburg canal and the Academy Building. Rembrandt was born here in 1606, the Hortus Botanicus of 1590 is where Clusius first grew tulips on Dutch soil, and the Pilgrims lived in the city for a decade before sailing on the Mayflower. Naturalis, the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden and Museum De Lakenhal make it one of the most museum-dense cities in the country, while the Leiden Bio Science Park beside the LUMC university hospital is the largest life-science cluster in the Netherlands. The Hague is 15 km away, Schiphol 30 km, Amsterdam 40 km, and ESA's ESTEC centre at Noordwijk lies just beyond the dunes.
