Naturmuseum Dortmund

In the location's words:

Discover nature, experience science

Stand among prehistoric giants, dive into the fish fauna of Lake Möhne, see colorful crystals sparkle in black light and catch a glimpse of the formation of our solar system - all this and many other exciting things await you at the Dortmund Nature Museum.

Sunken and present-day habitats and their species await you. In the geological exhibition, you will be guided through a comprehensive collection from the last ice age to the Cretaceous period. But we don't want to spoil everything for you. It's best to discover the fantastic exhibits for yourself and embark on a great little adventure through the ages.

Admission to the permanent exhibition is free of charge!

Discover the hidden colorfulness of tourmalines.
In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are always great special exhibitions. You can currently visit the exhibition until March: "Crystal magic. The hidden magic of dark tourmalines".

Further highlights: The large circular viewing tank with a capacity of around 90,000 liters of water and the giant skeleton of a woolly mammoth cow - very impressive. We never cease to be amazed every time we visit.
