What To Expect
Art Zoo Museum
Art Zoo Museum, housed in one of the most enchanting 17th-century canal houses, is a tribute to the animal kingdom and nature. In this oasis in the heart of Amsterdam, the breathtaking taxidermy art of Darwin, Sinke & Van Tongeren takes on an almost theatrical dimension. Feathers gleam, muscles are taut, eyes seem to follow you with interest. From enormous aviaries, you gaze into a world where animals reign supreme: timeless still lifes with the grandeur of the Dutch Masters. From colourful birds and winding snakes to imposing crocodiles and a T. rex – it's as if they could spring to life at any moment. Walk through the museum with a free self-guided audio tour to learn more about the works and the history of the building. End your visit in the historic garden or at the Italian bar for a coffee.

5.00Fairytale art in detail and also educational. Fantastically made and comes into its own in the old canal house. We were able to see everything in less than an hour including a drink. It is very clear And in each section you see something different. So no repeat of the same thing. Recommended!

5.00A beautiful arty display of taxidermy and nature. Presented in an amazing building to immerse you in a huge piece of art. High standards throughout with effective audio tour and a lovely cafe at the end while you relax and enjoy the artwork around you ( made up of shells). It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves art and nature.
Animals in the spotlight in a 17th century setting
CatherineLC92190,Jan 14, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This new museum, housed in an aristocratic 17th century mansion, is an aesthetic marvel and the two artists who imagined and staged all these naturalized animals (and sometimes their skeletons) are real magicians. The discourse on nature protection is not forgotten. At the end of the tour, the Vasari Seashell Coffee Shop is a delightful stopover overlooking the inner garden. A real gem on one of Amsterdam's great canals.
