Micropia: Finally a zoo for the micro-multitudes!


Do you really want to know? One of the interactive exhibits at Micropia is this body scanner that tells visitors what microbes live in and on their bodies.

The world's first interactive microbe zoo opens in Amsterdam, shining new light on the tiny creatures that make up two-thirds of all living matter.

Microbes – the first organisms that appeared on Earth and still the most numerous – finally have a museum to call their own. Built at a cost of €10mil (RM41mil), the Micropia museum opens on Sept 30 and is located next to Amsterdam's Artis Royal Zoo.
