    Natura Artis Magistra (Latin for "Nature is the mother (or teacher) of art") commonly known simply as Artis, is a zoo in Amsterdam. It is the oldest zoo of the Netherlands, founded in 1838 by G.F. Westerman, J.W.H. Werlemann and J.J. Wijsmuller. There is also a planetarium. It was where the last ever quagga on the planet in captivity was held before it died in 1883.
