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.

I came in response to an article in Volkskrant magazine. What a pleasant surprise. Very original exhibition in a beautiful house. Almost incomprehensible that this was conceived and made by human spirit and hands. True art!

The experience was amazing as someone who loves nature and learning everything and anything about nature the art zoo was the perfect mixture of artistic expression and education without the pressure of having to know anything about the exhibits pr who the artist behind them were. Each piece on display had its own unique characteristics and brought something new to experience
