Unexpected art, the best decision of the day - It was an amazing experience, all the staff was really nice, and the artwork left me speechless. It was an amazing opportunity as a drawing exercise (speaking as an artist myself).

Spectacular - A new museum on the heart of Amsterdam. Exhibits beautifully displayed. Quirky yet inviting and interesting. Lovey cafe and a stunning terrace. Fun for the whole family. The setting is as it day a zoo. This is taxidermy meets 3D art at its best . Well worth the visit. Highly recommend it . Located on the Herengracht. Don’t miss out on this stunning museum when visiting Amsterdam.

Unique museum of animals and art - Wonderfull museum or better ‘wunderkamer’. Really beautiful work, craftsmanship in a spectacular setting. If you really watch al the animals and settings you can spend much more time then the museum itself advises. Much respect for the artists, their dedication and presentation of the work. Unique in the world. Watch the movie in the museum to understand the motivations of the artists.

Engaging, surprising and educational - Interesting combination of art and taxidermy. Building lends itself to this art expression. Exhibition is on the small side. For an even more haunting experience, the exhibition should be twice as large.

Beautiful wunderkammer in the heart of Amsterdam - Design immersion DAN exhibition stuffed animals; all beautiful artistic creations. Unfortunately not spread by entire building which is beautiful in itself. So ‘tour’ takes at most an hour. But if weather permits lovely chilling in nice time. Oasis after bustle 9 streets.
