Explore nature in one of our three workshops. Here you can touch and study all the natural objects. Just like researchers, you look for answers yourself. What are you going to discover? Open at varying times, ask a member of staff for the daily program.

How does an elephant's skin feel? What is a fossil? What can you learn from a turd? Discover the answer to these and many more questions together in the curiosity cabinets in the galleries Life, Dinosaur Era and Ice Age. Your own questions are also more than welcome! Open at varying times, ask a member of staff for the daily program.

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?

Have you always wanted to experience a night at the museum? This is your chance! Naturalis is open every Saturday until 9:30 p.m. until the Christmas holidays. Meet our herd of triceratopses and stroll through all the museum galleries in peace.

At Naturalis Nu you hear about the latest news from our collection and our researchers. What are the latest discoveries? Have any special finds been excavated or washed up? The interactive presentation Naturalis Nu can be seen several times every day (except Fridays) in Live Science (in Dutch). Don't miss it if you are in the museum!

During the Spotlights of Naturalis, our experts share the latest knowledge, they show real collection pieces and talk passionately about their work in the museum.
