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, available in 10 languages, to learn more about the works and the history of the building. End your visit in the historic garden and at the Italian bar for a coffee. A hidden gem in the centre of Amsterdam.

This museum was very surprising. The art of setting up animals combined with the artistic and artistic skills of both artists gives a special view of the animals. Definitely worth a visit!

Unforgettable! The experience left an impression on me at the end of the day. You feel that this has been put down with the magic of creation. It felt like I was being read to and able to look up the pictures myself and you're so caught up in it that it's just you and the moment. Very beautiful and put together with intent!
