The museum of big questions

In the nature museum at Amsterdam Royal Zoo, you can discover how humans, animals and plants form a single ecosystem. You explore how nature cooperates through a thousand small and large examples. Did you know that trees communicate with each other, just like neighbours? Or that babies move like crocodiles? Go on a journey of discovery and be moved by art, sounds, smells and interactive installations. This is how you will understand and appreciate your connection with nature.

The interactive nature museum of Amsterdam

Your personal journey of discovery begins in this 170-year-old building. The nature museum stimulates you with interactive installations and surprising works of art. You will be moved by the beauty and fragility of nature. You will discover how humans, animals, plants and microbes share one ecosystem. And how crucial the role you, as a human being, play in it. Nature is not something outside of us; we are nature.
