Full description

Micropia in Amsterdam-Centrum is a museum dedicated to microbes, using interactive exhibits to show organisms normally too small to see. Visitors can operate microscopes themselves to observe different microbes, and reviewers describe the content as educational without being overwhelming.

Staff are praised as friendly and knowledgeable about the on-site lab. The subject appeals to families, curious adults and anyone who enjoys science, and about an hour is enough to see most of it.

Reviews

A really fun and interesting museum about the invisible world around us. Microorganisms are something we usually never think about, even though they play such an important role in our lives. The museum is very well designed, with plenty of interactive displays and a lot of information presented in an accessible way.…
