What will you see inside the Micropia Museum?
Founded in 2014, the Micropia Museum aims to educate visitors on the important role microbes play in their daily lives. Often given a bad rap for its links with diseases, bacteria can be found everywhere and on everything, and largely has a positive impact on the world.
With Micropia Museum passes, you can dive deep into this under-explored territory and start to see these essential organisms in a new, and favorable light. Assemble the microbes that interest you the most as you wander the site to form your own collection, and participate in a lab talk where all your burning questions will be answered, such as what microbes eat, and how long they live.
As microbes are present throughout the world, the topics covered at the Micropia Museum are far-reaching, from gorilla excrement to wildfires, fungi and the human mind.
