University Museum Utrecht | UMU in Utrecht, Netherlands - reviews,open hours,photo spots,things to do

Really interesting museum with lots of human and animal samples. There are some oddities too, like malformations. The museum consists of a botanic garden and 5-6 rooms, so you might spend there 1-2 hours. Some of the rooms have interactive material, and most of the content is in English too. Included on the museum ticket there’s a botanic garden, although you can visit it separately for a lower price.

A good moment with all the family There is a enigma from the beginning and during all the visit, to show you what is a scientific experiment, with a vote a the end on what you think is the solution You can also visit the beautiful garden, with a nice moment for kids on the pond The cafe is very nice, sandwiches and salad are good and very friendly with toys you can take

This was quite an interesting and interactive museum. The task to start the journey with was to guess what was inside a box. There were a lot of cool topics to learn about throughout the museum. You probably learned most of it at secondary school, though. My favourite hall was the one with the skeletons. There were so many (dead) animals to see!

Nice museum about the history of science. Collection ranges from books and multimedia to objects and lots of skeletons and human (parts) and animals in formaldehyde. Was a bit surprised at the entry fee buildup. We didn't pay for the garden as we had limited time but then you're also not allowed to visit the museum's cafeteria and shop which have their entrance in the garden entry. As the price for the garden is not that high I suggest making one entry fee to avoid...

Incredible! The wide variety of natural sciences is impressive. I especially love the emphasis on the extrodinary and more curious bits of science such as skeltons with birthdefects, etc. The greenhouse and garden are very romantic and absolutrly stunning! Also, the cafe is a littke slow on service, but friendly and has good espresso! I will definetly be visiting more; it is the type of place you can return and always discover...

Special and original museum! It is more about sciences and body. I appreciated it because there are some fun concepts but it is also sometimes disgusting when you enter in the room with all the piece of body (ears, eyes, teeth...)... Nevertheless, they have a wonderful botanical garden and a nice coffee in the same place ☕😁 To conclude I will say that it is a really good and original place to visit at least once...
