The mammoth at Bernink’s

Around seventy bones make up the mammoth story in the study. See which parts are present and where reconstruction is needed to understand a skeleton.

Cabinets of curiosities and prehistory

The worldwide animal collection, fossils and minerals raise different questions: provenance for specimens, age for fossils and composition for rock.

Funky Forest and lab

The digital forest responds interactively, while the lab shows specimen preparation. Compare simulation and real specimen, and ask what each medium can and cannot show.

Before you go

School holidays may add Monday opening. Check public holidays; carnival, Rosenmontag (Rose Monday) and several national holidays are listed as closed. Conditions for the Museumkaart (Dutch museum pass) may include a supplement.
