Discover how everything is connected at ARTIS-Groote Museum.

In this interactive nature museum, children explore what they have in common with animals, plants and even microbes. Did you know that trees “communicate” with each other? Or that as a baby, you moved just like a crocodile? By seeing, listening, smelling and exploring, you’ll discover that we are all part of one shared ecosystem.

Throughout the 170-year-old building, interactive installations and surprising stories invite young visitors to look at nature in a new way.

A special highlight: this autumn, Tanja, Amsterdam’s most famous hippopotamus, is featured in an exhibition about the relationship between humans and animals. How has our view of animals changed over time – and what can we learn from it?

A thought-provoking and inspiring museum visit for curious children – and their parents.
