About ARTIS-Micropia

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

Yet this invisible life can only be seen through a microscope. The exhibition ENLARGED shows how microscopes have forever changed our view of the world—from the very first lenses to razor-sharp images. Discover microbes through images, games and stories.

At Micropia you can also:

1. Explore invisible life
2. Scan yourself and meet your own microbes
3. Listen to educational and fascinating stories from the lab technicians
