Museum café
The museum café is the right place for coffee, tea and non-alcoholic beverages. The reading table offers you a selection of the latest issues of periodicals and newsletters published by a range of local and regional natural societies; the leaflet rack can be consulted for an up-to-date overview of nature-related outdoor activities as well as cultural events in the area. And, naturally, there is also information on current exhibits and activities at fellow natural history museums.

station, continue straight on through the Stationsstraat. Cross the bridge
(Servaasbrug). Continue right to the entrance of De Bijenkorf
department store; turn left there. Straight on, cross the square (Onze
Lieve Vrouwenplein) with the basilica on your left. From there please
follow the pedestrian signs (black with gold lettering) All in all, this
trip takes about 15 minutes, provided that you are not distracted by the
many sights along the route
home | start | back
Ride a bike:
(Bikes for hire at the 'Stationsrijwielstalling' near the Central Station)
In front of the railway station, continue straight on, and cross the
Servaas bridge, and turn left at the crossing to continue along the
Maas River. Turn right in front of the underground car park, and cross
the square (Onze Lieve Vrouwenplein), then turn left (Witmakersstraat),
cross the Pieterstraat, and turn left again at the next crossing (Achter
de Molens). Continue until the street turns sharply to the right: you
are now in the Grote Looiersstraat. At the far end of this street you
will now see the entrance to the museum !
home | start | back
By bus:
Bus service 3, at the Central Station, stops in the Tongersestraat.
Get off there, and walk back a bit, then turn right (at the Topor wall
painting). At the T junction take the second street on the right (Looiersgracht).
At the far end of this street, turn right sharply and you will see the
entrance to the museum.
