About ARTIS-Micropia

ARTIS-Micropia is the first and only museum in the world dedicated entirely to microbes, 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.

ARTIS-Micropia is located right in the heart of Amsterdam. Take tram 14 from Amsterdam Central Station to ARTIS. Tram lines 7 and 19 also stop nearby. Metro station Waterlooplein is a 10-minute walk away.
