to the permanent exhibition

Our three permanent exhibitions in Hamburg show fascinating aspects of nature. In zoology, we show the animal world and its habitats. In mineralogy, earthly minerals tell the story of our planet and meteorites evoke images from outer space. In geology and palaeontology, we look into the past and the beginnings of life on our planet.
