Part of the ARTIS complex (including the ARTIS Zoo), Micropia is a hands-on educational museum dedicated to microbes.

That depends. Micropia is open daily from 9am until 6pm. For the quietest experience, head to the museum right at opening time. However, its events program changes daily, including interactive activities and talks from lab technicians (also held in English), so be sure to check the schedule before planning your visit.

Wheelchairs are available for loan on a first-come, first-served basis, or you can book one a day in advance. The ARTIS car park has dedicated spaces for visitors with disabilities.
