Discover wild animals from around the world!

A CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH ANIMAL WILDLIFE!

The nature is full of wonders! At the Gothenburg Natural History Museum you can discover all most everything between heaven and earth – here you’ll find everything from ancient fossils, exciting dinosaur skeletons and the most beautiful butterflies - but also the occasional leech. Don't miss the world's largest mounted blue whale, the African elephant and other stuffed celebrities in our exhibitions. Welcome!

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.

OBS! The Whale Hall will close for renovation on March 2nd 2020, and open again in 2021.

The museum’s Birds Galleries have birds from all over the world. There is a lot to discover here - everything from the world’s largest bird, the ostrich, down to the smallest one, the humming bird.
