Museum for Natural History, Berlin

The Museum for Natural History (Museum für Naturkunde) is the largest and most important museum of its kind in Germany. The extensive collection provides a totally new perspective on the world of nature, the earth as a planet and biological environment as well as the process of evolution. The museum was founded in 1810 and has since acquired a collection of over 20 million items. Everything about the earth is exhibited here, from minerals to meteorites. The highlight of the museum for both kids and so-called "grown-ups" is without doubt the dinosaur hall.
