Permanent exhibitions

Learn about the story of Earth and the evolutionary history of life on this planet, beginning 3.8 billion years ago and stretching until the present day. Welcome to this evolutionary journey and meet fossils, insects, butterflies, cephalopods and dinosaur skeletons.

The museum’s bird 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.

In the Mammals Gallery you can explore the rich diversity of mammals living on land, from the enormous African elephant to the diminutive pygmy shrew.

Welcome to an exhibition about the evolution of whales and meet the Malmska whale, a unique mounted blue whale.

By visiting our dioramas you will get a unique momentary view of some familiar Swedish natural landscapes which were richly populated by animals in the past. They have all been carefully recreated. Building peepshows took ten years and any amount of patience to do it correctly.
