The zoo was founded in 1838 by Gerard Westerman, J.W.H. Werlemann and J.J. Wijsmuller (also known as the three Ws). Initially the park was only open to members. In 1851, public access to the site was permitted during the month of September. From 1920 the zoological garden was open to the public all year round. Gerad Westerman saw Artis as the realization of the zeitgeist of the Enlightenment. From the beginning, the collection included not only living animals and plants, but also a literary, zoological, geological and botanical collection.

The Royal Zoo Amsterdam, Europe's oldest animal park, not only attracts with an African savannah in the middle of the city, but also with a historical ambience.
Where else in the world can you watch piranhas swim in an 1882 city palace?
And because the zoo was built on the site of a former park, 130,000 flowers bloom in spring.
