Micropia Microbe Museum Amsterdam

Another attraction to add to that list of must-see places in Amsterdam is ARTIS-Micropia! At Micropia you’ll experience the smallest and most successful of life forms. Every human being carries approximately 1.5 kilograms of microbes. Microbes are everywhere, and they shape your world. You can experience this straight away through specially designed 3D viewers that make it possible for you to see how living microbes move around, eat, and reproduce. You can navigate through the habitat of extremophiles, which are microorganisms that are able to survive the most extreme circumstances. And with a body scan, you come face-to-face with your very own microorganisms. After a visit to Micropia, you’ll probably never see yourself, or the world, in the same way again.
