They are invisible yet all around us: microbes. ARTIS-Micropia, the world’s first museum and only museum about microbes, uncovers the fascinating world of microorganisms and how they influence our day-to-day life. This one-of-a-kind attraction that opened in 2014 gives you a unique glimpse into the microscopic world surrounding us.
ARTIS-Micropia is a high-tech and immersive multimedia experience that will let you enter the realm of what’s usually hidden from our eyes. State-of-the-art microscopes, interactive games and modern equipment bring the world of our powerful little neighbours to life, making the award winning exhibitions an unforgettable experience for adults and children alike!
Around two-thirds of life on earth are microorganisms that you cannot see without a microscope. In fact, they are so small that one million bacteria can fit onto the tip of a pin! So while the micro-world may be invisible to us, they are crucial to our world and our bodies. Microorganism like moulds, bacteria, viruses or yeasts are essential in the circle of life, without them life on earth wouldn’t be possible.
ARTIS-Micropia introduces you to a fascinating collection of microbes. Learn more about the nonillion bacteria (that is a 1 with 30 zeros!) living on earth and how they adapted to nearly every type of environment and extreme conditions within the 3,5 billion years they’ve inhabited the earth.
Take a closer look at how microbes around you influence your life! Find out what the microorganisms have to do with your breakfast and how they protect your skin or how many of them live on your phone. Collect your favourite microbes and find all their diverse eggs during an egg hunt, create your own collection and bring them to life on the Microbe Wall.

This is a very interesting and educational museum about the origin of bacteria and fungi. Everything is explained very descriptive. It has plenty top try out - not only perfect for children.

Daughter was excited to visit this museum, and she loved it. Very informative, not huge but had lots to look at. Adults enjoyed it too. Only downside was the ticket doesn’t allow you access to the gift shop. Daughter wanted an Artis de Partis toy, and we weren’t allowed in to the shop to purchase one. We travelled to the station to purchase, which was a bit of a trek, so that was annoying.

Def a great alternative to the typical art museums when visiting the city. Super interesting and informative experience and great for all ages. The nerd in me loved every moment. I would highly recommend. Also next to the zoo and can combine tix for a small discount.

Who knew gross little microbes could be so fascinating? Lots of interesting exhibits & displays full of interesting facts and info. The body scan is particularly disturbing! For all ages but young ones will really enjoy it. Good fun.

This place was amazing. My science nerd of a husband really wanted to go. I have to say I am glad we did. All of the interactive exhibits are well done, educational and entertaining. We were there for almost three hours, the time just flew. I guess my inner science nerd was allowed to shine.

A wonderfully designed museum with a real sense of humor; it kept family and friends engaged for 1-2 hours.

Leuk museum, dat laat zien hoe de "kleine natuur" om ons heen belangrijk is voor ons bestaan, maar ook ziekten kan veroorzaken. Zowel voor kinderen als volwassenen leuk. En men leert alles om zich heen te waarderen. Het enige minpunt is, dat er bij het naar binnengaan wordt aangegeven dat er op vastgestelde tijden ( die kenbaar worden gemaakt ) een laborant komt, die ook nog van alles kan zien, en waar je vragen aan kan stellen. Wel: deze laborant komt dus NIET....

Espacio amplio, muy limpio, muy bien decorado. Hay taquillas para dejar tus cosas antes de entrar y la experiencia muy bonita, sin duda volveria!

Das einzige Mikrobenmuseum der Welt. In der Beschreibung steht, man besichtigt es in ca. 90 Minuten. Ich habe mehr als drei Stunden hier verbracht und mich nicht gelangweilt. Einfach toll gemacht und man erfährt auch als totaler Laie, der ich war, viel Spannendes beim Einblick in die Welt der Mikroben

Vandaag een bezoek gebracht aan Micropia. De tentoonstelling is zeer aanschouwelijk en gestructureerd opgesteld. De informatie is duidelijk en eenvoudig geformuleerd om het te begrijpen. Het feit dat je doorheen de tentoonstelling stempels kan verzamelen om je eigen 'microscopisch beeld' is een leuke meerwaarde. We hebben er ongeveer een klein uurtje gespendeerd.
