Haeckel Hunt - How to catch’ em all around Oosterdok!

Ernst Haeckel was a biologist and artist in the 19th century. He discovered many new species during his exploration tours around the world. You can now step into his footsteps as a curious explorer of nature, plants and animals, and participate in our treasure hunt. Haeckel's creatures are hiding all around Oosterdok, it is full of them! We ask you to set off on an expedition to explore the area and find them all. Be an adventurer, be a scientist, and catch those creatures.
