Unbelievable natural history museum filled with wonders. It still retains its original layout and cabinets so you really get to see how the original researchers wanted it displayed. The building is magnificent and has artwork that matches and enhances the items on display. This is a great museum for adults and kids alike.
One of the best natural history museum we have visited. It's so interactive for kids and keeps their curiosity levels high. Wonderfully spent 4h. Kids are free to enter and adults 16€. All worth it.
Absolutely amazing and one of the best natural history museums in the world. The collection is vast and comprehensive covering the evolution of Homo sapiens and all the animals. They have lockers make sure you have a 1 or 2€ coin with you. The dinosaur exhibit is amazing, and the collection of birds, fish, and animals. The taxidermy of the animals make you really appreciate how big and how amazing these animals are. Worth checking out
