Description

Visit the world’s only microbe museum in the heart of Amsterdam. Only 10 minutes from city center.
They are everywhere, in the air, on your skin and in your gut. They make food taste good, keep you healthy and maintain balance in nature. Microbes are essential.

At Micropia this invisible world comes to life through living microbes, microscopes, interactive displays and stories from the lab technicians.

Spring break at Micropia - Micro Mission and creative workshop

No species truly lives on its own. During the Micro Mission young explorers discover how plants, animals and microbes work together in nature. Did you know that the microbes in your gut help you digest your food?

The Micro Mission is available every day during Spring break between 10.00 and 17.00, and can be collected for free at the ticket desk.

Want to discover more?

With a combination ticket you can also visit the ARTIS-Groote Museum, where you discover how everything is connected, human, animal, plant and microbe. Or step outside into ARTIS Zoo and experience nature up close.
