Promenade

Take a little promenade through the museum with Hungry and Hippo as your guides! We are currently open for holiday preview hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-8pm. Keep an eye out for our official grand opening in January!

Preparing Skulls, Part Three

Here’s the final installment of our Preparing Skulls series! We think you’ll find that it all comes together quite nicely for these rather handsome skulls. But don’t worry, we’ll continue to showcase more behind the scenes action as we get the rest of our exhibits ready for display.



Soapberry Bugs

Soapberry bugs might make a good exhibit for the museum. Check out this short video about soapberry bugs and the soapberry vine that they depend on. With a little luck, we’re hoping to have both growing strong at Amuseum Naturalis this season.



Preparing Skulls, Part One

As we prepare the museum for the new season, we are excited to take you behind the scenes to see how everything comes together to make Amuseum Natualis. In this video, we go through the initial steps of preparing skulls for display.



Friends of the Amuseum

We’ve got some pretty big news at the Amuseum. First, we will be reopening for the 2016-17 season. Not only that, but we will also be enhancing our exhibits and adding to our collections. We will have regular hours in the evening several days a week and will be inviting school classes and youth groups to visit Amuseum Naturalis during the day by appointment. Best of all, the museum will remain free to the public!

In order to accomplish all this, we’ve created a new program called Friends of the Amuseum. Businesses and individuals can join to show their support for the Amuseum with a donation of 100€ or $110. You’ll be featured on this website and in the museum itself. Mostly, though, it’s a way to help bring something great to St. Martin.

If your interested, or to find out more, head over to the Friends page and get all the details. You’ll also get to see the local businesses that have already signed on to help us out! Download a fact sheet in English or French if you think your company would be interested in joining.

Ecole Mandarine Visit

We had a great time with the kids of Ecole Mandarine when they came to visit Amuseum Naturalis. We enjoyed the exhibits, watch some short documentaries about local wildlife and planted some Gaïac seeds. It was our first school visit, so we weren’t exactly sure how it would turn out, but it was great!
