What a fascinating idea for a museum! A micro museum of small museums!

Now I have to go wash my hands too! Micropia sounds like a great addition to a traditional zoo. My husband is a medical researcher and hangs out in a lab, so I think he’d be fascinated. I think I better start insisting that he wash his hands — again —when he gets home from work.

If you ever want to visit a maximum gross out museum, I recommend the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia.

In reply to Karen Warren. I still have more to visit to see them all! The funeral museum and the pianola museum are next on the list, I think!

You do manage to find some interesting museums! I’d love to see the display of all my own microbes and fungi – sounds fascinating.

In reply to Donna at Destinations Detours and Dreams. Yep! And I'm washing my hands even more than I used to!

What an interesting and unusual museum. We don;t generally think much about microbes, but I bet you do more now after visiting this museum.

In reply to Anita and Richard @ No Particular Place To Go. This one only opened relatively recently, so it's not very well-known. I only found out about it because I saw an ad at the airport. And I think people think it's part of the zoo, so they'd have to make a whole day of it, but it's not. You can buy a separate ticket or combined.

What a great tour sign: 80 million micrometers … ! I loved my microbiology classes in college and, even though it’s way outside of the usual must sees in Amsterdam, I’d put the Micropia museum on my list. It sounds fascinating and I can see its appeal to older school age children. I think the most fascinating exhibit would be the microbes that inhabit the human body but the microbes causing deadly diseases might be a close second. Definitely a unique museum! Anita
