ARTIS Micropia

About

Visit the world’s only microbe museum, located next to ARTIS Zoo and just 10 minutes from the city center. Microbes are all around you, in the air, on our skin, and in our bodies. They help produce food, support our health, and play an important role in nature. At Micropia, you can explore the world of microbes through live exhibits, microscopes, interactive displays, and insights from lab technicians. During the May Holiday at ARTIS-Micropia, learn how microbes help produce oxygen and support life on Earth. You can also visit the ARTIS-Groote Museum to explore the connections between humans, animals, plants, and microbes, or continue your visit at ARTIS Zoo.
