Our collection needs to be cleaned from time to time. Please check this schedule when which room is closed for maintenance.

In the Discovery Boxes on the first floor of LiveScience, there is plenty to explore. Roll up your sleeves and learn all about seeds, rocks, shells and droppings. With this interactive experience, you will become a true researcher. The boxes are available every day, ready to be discovered. When will you visit?

The holidays are coming! Time for cold noses, warm mittens, lights and carols. Our ground floor is completely decked out in a Surinamese and winter spirit, with cozy stalls where you can find your last-minute Christmas gifts or enjoy a fun activity. See you there!

How do you prepare an animal or plant to go into the collection for eternity? Watch it live!

Have you found something and do you want to know what it is? Take it to Naturalis and we'll investigate it together.
