Naturhistorisches Museum (Natural History Museum)
Naturhistorisches Museum (Natural History Museum) Review
All aspects of the natural sciences—from the history of the earth to extinct mammals to interesting insects—are featured here. A tour is like an expedition into the remotest corners of the planet, where natural objects, large and small, wait to be discovered, inspected, and contemplated. Most descriptive materials are in German only.
