Groote Museum is focused on exploring the interaction between humans and the natural world. The museum strives to inform and inspire visitors about how nature shapes us and how we, in turn, influence nature. It offers an interactive experience centered on education and awareness.
What is there to see and do?
Within the walls of the Groote Museum, visitors can explore a range of exhibits and activities focused on different aspects of the natural world. From detailed exhibits on biology and ecology to interactive installations that invite visitors to think about their own impact on the environment. The museum offers an educational experience that appeals to both children and adults.
Location and Combination with Artis and Micropia
The Groote Museum is strategically located next to Artis, the oldest zoo in the Netherlands, and Micropia, the only microbe museum in the world. This proximity offers a unique opportunity to extend a day with a variety of educational and engaging activities. Visitors can begin a day at the Groote Museum, walk on to Artis to see exotic animals, and end the day at Micropia, where they can discover the invisible world of microbes.
The Square and Restaurant De Plantage
In front of the museum is a square that plays a central role in connecting the various attractions. Here visitors can relax for a while and enjoy the lively atmosphere. The square is also home to Restaurant De Plantage, where visitors can enjoy a meal or a drink in a beautiful setting overlooking the zoo.
The Groote Museum in Amsterdam thus offers not only a deep insight into our interaction with nature, but is also part of a larger whole that brings together education, nature and gastronomy in a historic location. This makes it a must-visit for anyone interested in nature, science and culture.
