RotterdamZuid-Holland/Netherlands
The Rotterdam Natural History Museum is a unique gathering place for those who love nature, biodiversity, and urban nature. Housed in the historic Villa Dijkzigt, this museum is anything but stuffy. Of course, you’ll find impressive fossils and taxidermy here, but the museum is known worldwide for its focus on urban ecology—the nature that lives alongside us in the city—and its famous collection, “Dead Animals with a Story.” It’s a museum that’s as educational as it is entertaining, one that will make you look at the pigeons, rats, and trees in the city with a completely different perspective.
