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, 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.

5.00It’s a wonderful place. The old grandeur of the canalhouse itself is worth visiting, the beautiful and extraordinary exhibition of the animals is true art. Colorful and a natural fit in the building. And it takes max an hour or so. Supreme coffee available in their own Bar Vasari.

4.00Beautiful collection, beautiful mosaics, colors! Tip for the lighting: perhaps extra lighting that (temporarily) turns on while pressing the button? Among others, the toucans e.g.
Definitely recommend to anyone with a spare hour in Amsterdam
