Micropia

Billed as the world's first museum devoted entirely to microbes, Micropia sits within the grounds of Amsterdam's historic zoo and lets visitors explore the invisible living world through microscopes and interactive displays. Exhibits reveal the bacteria, viruses and fungi that inhabit the human body, including a body scanner that estimates a visitor's own microbial makeup. It reframes organisms usually feared as disease-causing into a story of biology and interdependence. The result appeals to curious families and science-minded travellers.
