As we are getting ready for our upcoming 100th anniversary in the beginning of the summer, renovation work has started on floor 3. It will all be done by the 8th of July.

Our work to carefully update our permanent exhibitions with fishes, reptiles, humans and many more species is finally done. Evolution is a main theme. Come meet all your relatives!

In this section of the museum’s permanent exhibitions we tell you the story of the history of Earth and the evolutionary history of life on Earth beginning 3.8 billion years ago and stretching until the present day. Welcome to this evolutionary journey and meet fossils, insects, butterflies, blackfish and dinosaur skeletons.

We are proud to be a part of CETAF Consortium of EuropeanTaxonomic Facilities, Europé’s network of biological and geological collections. Togheter with other natural history museums, botanical gardens and biodiversity centres we work on projects to promote research on collections.
