The museum is full of birds, fish, reptiles, mammals, shells, and insects. All types of fossils found in the Netherlands can be seen in the special exhibition ‘Picked up Dredged Hammered’. There is also a fine cabinet of curiosities and an interactive exhibition that displays how animals and plants adapt in our cities creating a fascinating urban ecology. There is always something new to see in our programme of temporary exhibitions.

The museum can be visited without prior online reservation (tickets can be purchased at the museum); a valid coronavirus entry pass is required to enter, a face mask must be worn and a social distance of 1.5 m to other visitors and staff must be observed. Please read here what we are doing and expecting you to do, for a safe visit.

There are always activities to do in the museum; on this Dutch page you will find details.
