Micropia is a truly unique science museum in Amsterdam—and the only museum in the world devoted entirely to microbes. Located next to Artis Royal Zoo, it introduces visitors to the unseen organisms that influence every aspect of our lives, from digestion and disease to decomposition and sustainability. Using microscopes, animations, and interactive displays, Micropia brings the invisible world of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms into sharp focus.
You can observe live microbes, learn how they interact with our bodies and environment, and even scan your body to see what kind of microscopic life might live on you. The museum is both educational and fun, appealing to adults, students, and families alike. With its innovative design and compelling content, Micropia changes the way you think about hygiene, health, and the microbial world that surrounds us all.
