Art Zoo Museum

About

Art Zoo Museum is a unique museum in Amsterdam, located on Herengracht in the Nine Streets district. Housed in a historic 17th-century canal-side building, the museum combines art, design, and nature into a unique experience. The museum is an artistic ode to the animal kingdom, created by taxidermy artists Darwin, Sinke & Van Tongeren. In atmospheric and imaginative displays, animals are presented in impressive ways, ranging from colorful birds and snakes to imposing crocodiles and even a T-Rex. The artworks are so detailed that they almost seem to come to life. Visitors move through various spaces that feel like a tranquil oasis in the heart of Amsterdam. Large installations and aviaries create a world where animals take center stage and art and nature converge. With an audio tour available in multiple languages, including Dutch, English, French, and Spanish, visitors can discover the stories behind the artworks and the historic building at their own pace. This makes the Art Zoo Museum an accessible and unique activity in Amsterdam for both tourists and locals.
