In the nature museum of Amsterdam you explore how humans, animals, plants, and microbes all share one ecosystem. Feel, taste, hear, smell, and see that we are all part of nature.

Through a thousand small and large examples you explore what you have in common with other animals and plants. Did you know that the trees on your street communicate with each other—just like you do with your neighbors? And that as a baby, you moved in the same way as a crocodile?

Embark on an exploration that meanders through the 170 year old building, experiencing a variety of interactive installations as you go. You’ll not only gain a deeper understanding of your connection with nature, but also a greater appreciation for it.

Visit in combination with the other locations of ARTIS. Discover the world of microbes in ARTIS-Micropia and experience nature up close in the ARTIS Royal Amsterdam Zoo.
