The place where everything that has to do with biodiversity comes together

Since Saturday the 31st of August, Naturalis has opened its doors again for its visitors of all ages. The renowned institute for biodiversity (based in the Dutch city of Leiden) is the place where everyone, both scientist and regular visitors to the museum, can learn more about nature and biodiversity.

With the joined forces of all of its collections and its scientists, the most modern facilities for biodiversity research and a beautiful new museum, Naturalis is ready to take on the future.
