You can schedule a guided tour of the World Soil Museum. A tour can last 15, 30 or 60 minutes. All tours will cover the museum’s history and purpose and explore its soil collections. Longer tours can be customised to focus on a specific part of the collection or theme such as climate change.
Our tour guides are specially trained for this work by the World Soil Museum. Tours can be conducted in English or Dutch. Tours are also available in French or Spanish upon request, subject to staff availability.
In-person tours
Come to the museum in Wageningen! We request that group size is a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 30 people. Maximum size may vary if needed, based on safety restrictions.
Museum admission is free. The fee for a guided tour is €37,50 for a short or medium tour (15-30 minutes) and €75 for a 60-minute tour. For groups that require a tour longer than one hour, fees can be discussed. Educational groups, such as primary and secondary schools, are exempt from guided tour fees. University groups may contact us to confirm whether a fee applies.

Book an online guided tour for your group to experience the museum remotely. These livestreamed tours can be 30 or 60 minutes long for a €70 fee , with unlimited participants (unless the streaming platform’s capacity is reached). Virtual tours can be streamed via Zoom, YouTube, Instagram or another platform provided by the host. An additional benefit of booking a virtual tour is that the tour can be recorded if desired.
