Göttingen Museum of Zoology, Natural science museum in Göttingen, Germany.
The Biodiversity Museum occupies the second floor of Forum Wissen building, focusing on three main themes: evolution, ecosystems, and human influence on nature.
Originally established in 1877 as the Natural History Museum of the University of Göttingen, the building underwent extensive renovations from 2017 to 2022.
The museum presents over 100,000 biological specimens from the Georg-August University collections, ranging from flatworms to extinct birds and whale skeletons.
The museum remains closed for renovations until 2025, when it will reopen with interactive exhibits, multimedia stations, and hands-on experiences.
A complete sperm whale skeleton hangs from the ceiling of the glass atrium, where visitors can dine at the museum café beneath it.
Opening Hours: off "wegen Umbauten bis 2025 geschlossen"
