Natural wonders, prehistoric giants, sea creatures - the Senckenberg Museum is home to one of the most extensive natural history exhibitions in Europe.
No question about it: the giants are the stars here. A Tyrannosaurus Rex and a long-necked Diplodocus greet visitors right outside the entrance to the Senckenberg Nature Museum. And behind the sandstone façade is one of the most comprehensive dinosaur exhibitions in Europe. But even beyond the prehistoric collection, thousands of exhibits take visitors on a journey through the history of the earth and present everything that grows, flies, swims, crawls or walks on our planet.
A particular highlight of the museum are the themed rooms "Deep Sea" and "Marine Research". These exhibitions take visitors into the mysterious world of the oceans and show impressive creatures that are at home in the dark depths of the seas. The staging of an Indonesian coral reef makes it possible to experience this amazing habitat with all the senses and shows the colourful diversity under water.
The collection goes back to a donation by the physician and naturalist Dr Johann Christian Senckenberg in 1763; the latest scientific findings of the Society for Natural Research of the same name are still incorporated into the exhibition today. And if you would like to slip into the role of a researcher yourself, you can do so in the experimental "Aha? Research Workshop", where young and old researchers can get hands-on.
