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?

The holidays are coming! Time for cold noses, warm mittens, lights and carols. Our ground floor is completely decked out in a Surinamese and winter spirit, with cozy stalls where you can find your last-minute Christmas gifts or enjoy a fun activity. See you there!

The collection of Naturalis is still growing. Take a look at insects that we have collected during expeditions through the microscope of our experts. They show you how to recognize the different insect species, and how the insects are used for research.

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.
