Groote Museum, Natural history museum in Plantage district, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Groote Museum features interactive exhibitions exploring connections between humans and other life forms through sensory experiences and biological comparisons.
Built between 1850 and 1855 for the Natura Artis Magistra Zoological Society members, this structure served as Amsterdam's first dedicated museum building.
The museum presents exhibitions examining relationships between humans and nature, moving beyond traditional colonial perspectives that separated people from the natural world.
Located at Plantage Middenlaan 41, the museum opens daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours until 10:00 PM on Thursdays.
The restored butterfly staircase and original wooden floors from 1855 allow visitors to walk the same path as the first society members.
