Art Zoo Museum Tickets + Audio Guide
Description
Nature, science, or art? Discover how these worlds come together with your ticket to the Art Zoo Museum in Amsterdam. Step into a universe of animals, colors, and impossible scenes that evoke old cabinets of curiosities.
Why Visit Art Zoo Museum?
Located inside a 17th-century mansion next to one of the most beautiful canals in Amsterdam, the Art Zoo Museum is a cultural gem that pays tribute to the beauty of the natural world. Imagine seeing a crocodile or a dinosaur up close in a setting reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age artworks!
This collection features impactful pieces of art by Darwin, Sink and van Tongeren, known for their theatrical style and meticulous taxidermy technique. The pieces come to life with vibrant feathers, tense muscles, and eyes that observe with unsettling realism. Explore the museum's rooms while discovering fascinating details through the included audio guide.
During the tour, you'll see rooms that evoke old cabinets of curiosities. In one of them, exotic birds take center stage, displayed in a manner akin to a Flemish painting. Another room showcases snakes and crocodiles in scenes intertwining science and theater. A dedicated room for extinct creatures features a majestic Tyrannosaurus Rex , presented as if unearthed in a Baroque excavation.
After your visit, which lasts approximately 1 hour, unwind in the museum's Italian bar, situated in its historic garden. It's the ideal space to relax and discuss your experience.
