Welcome to ARTIS-Micropia
The World’s Only Microbe Museum
Microorganisms make up two-thirds of all living matter on Earth, yet they are completely invisible to the naked eye. ARTIS-Micropia is the world’s first and only museum that brings this hidden superpower of nature into brilliant focus.
Located in the historic, renovated Ledenlokalen complex on the public Artisplein, Micropia bridges science, art, and biology. Through custom 3D glass microscopes, interactive body scanners, and a live working laboratory, visitors discover how essential microbes are for human health, medicine, and the planet’s future.
Tickets & Pricing: Standalone & Combi Options
You have two flexible ways to experience Micropia:
Standalone Museum Entry
Micropia Only
Full access to the entire Micropia museum on Artisplein. Perfect for a targeted 90-minute science visit.
From €18.00 (online ticket)
Best Value Combi Deal
ARTIS Zoo + Micropia
Combine entry to the entire Royal Zoo (including the Aquarium and Planetarium) with Micropia on the same day.
€39.00 (save up to €8.50)
[!TIP] Digital Barcode Fast-Track: Purchasing your ticket online lets you bypass ticket lines and scan your phone directly at the museum turnstiles.
The Live Microbiology Laboratory
Unlike traditional museums with static display cases, Micropia features an active, operational microbiology laboratory right inside the exhibition halls:
- Live Culture Cultivation: Watch laboratory analysts through glass walls as they feed, incubate, and propagate real colonies of bacteria, micro-algae, and fungi.
- Daily Q&A: Technicians frequently share insights on how yeasts brew beer, how penicillin is isolated from mold, and how algae can replace fossil plastics.
Interactive Exhibits & Highlights
- The Famous Kiss-o-Meter: Step onto the platform with a partner and discover how many millions of friendly bacteria are exchanged during a brief kiss.
- The Indestructible Tardigrade: Look through high-powered optics to see live water bears—microscopic creatures capable of surviving outer space, deep freeze, and intense radiation.
- Body Scan Station: Stand in front of the life-sized infrared scanner to visualize the trillions of microbes residing on your skin, in your mouth, and across your gut microbiome.
- Luminescent Algae: Marvel at dark chambers glowing with bioluminescent ocean dinoflagellates that illuminate when agitated.
Practical Visitor Information
- Duration: Plan for 60 to 90 minutes inside the museum.
- Location: Located at Artisplein, which is freely accessible to the public without entering the zoo.
- Photography: Photography without flash is welcome. Please avoid flash to protect photosensitive cultures.
- Accessibility: Fully accessible for wheelchairs with elevators, wide corridors, and adjustable-height interactive screens.
How to Get Here
- Public Transit: Tram 14 to stop ARTIS. Metro lines 51, 53, or 54 to Waterlooplein (10 min walk).
