As we are getting ready for our upcoming 100th anniversary in the beginning of the summer, renovation work has started on floor 3. Therefore, we’ve closed the Sensory Corner. Thanks for your patience during the renovation jumble.

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.

FOR RESEARCHERS. Preparations and objects from our scientific collection are available on loan to scientific institutions to be used for research purposes. Here you will find information for researchers how to proceed.
