16 Off the Beaten Path Attractions in Amsterdam (Updated 2025)

"This unique 'zoo' of microbes bridges science and public curiosity: I wandered interactive displays, peered through microscopes, scanned myself to see microbes I carry, and collected favorites to add to the Microbe Wall — the museum constantly adds exhibits (like one on bioplastics) that highlight microbes’ surprising relevance." - Matthew Kepnes
