Geologisch-Paläontologisches Museum Münster
Geologisch-Paläontologisches Museum Münster, Geological and paleontological museum in Münster, Germany.
The museum occupies the Landsberg'sche Kurie, a former aristocratic palace constructed between 1703 and 1707 in central Münster.
Founded in 1824 as museum mineralogicum et zoologicum, the institution moved to Pferdegasse 3 in 1880, where it remains today.
The museum presents 14 thematic areas covering Earth's history, from the Big Bang through 13.8 billion years to the geological development of Westphalia.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with extended hours until 10:00 PM on the second Friday of each month.
The museum displays a 43,000-year-old mammoth skeleton discovered in Ahlen in 1910, which serves as the institution's primary symbol.
