Senckenberg Naturmuseum

The Senckenberg Nature Museum is one of the largest natural history museums in Germany and shows the diversity of life today as well as the development of living creatures and the transformation of our earth over millions of years. Behind the museum is the research network of the Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung, which presents new research findings from all areas of biology, palaeontology and geology in the museum. The museum impressively presents more than 10,000 extraordinary exhibits, including the largest number of dinosaur species in Germany. In addition to the giant dinosaurs, the Senckenberg display collection includes countless beetles and iridescent butterflies, a colorful world of birds and the amazing inhabitants of the oceans. A highlight of the museum are the themed rooms "Deep Sea" and "Marine Research" as well as the staging of an Indonesian coral reef, which allow visitors to experience the amazing underwater habitat with all their senses. The Aha?! Research Workshop is the new hands-on area in the museum. Here, young and old researchers can become active themselves: examine fascinating objects from nature, help with real research projects and talk to Senckenberg scientists.
