abstract = {The article discusses the educational journey Józef Jerzy Hylzen embarked upon between 1752 and 1754, paying special attention to the interest of the peregrinator in natural sciences. A noticeable change took place in the approach to the things he saw; collections of curiosities were slowly being replaced by physical cabinets of 18th-century scholars. Thanks to participation in Jean-Antoine Nollet’s demonstrations of experimental physics, young Hylzen gained a new curiosity of the world. Nollet gave him the opportunity to meet other naturalists from France and the Netherlands: René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur, Pieter van Musschenbroek and Jean-Nicolas-Sébastien Allamand. Hylzen visited their physical cabinets which no longer reflected collector’s passion as they became places of scholarly study. Dividing the collected items by genre made them into prototypes of today’s museums, as scholars would often pass their collections to them.},
