Lava-Dome Mendig, Volcanological museum in Mendig, Germany.
The Lava-Dome features three exhibition areas spanning 700 square meters, presenting volcanic phenomena through interactive displays and multimedia presentations.
Opened in 2005, the museum stands above an extensive network of underground lava cellars that were used for basalt mining during medieval times.
The exhibition includes speaking stones that narrate stories of four major volcanic eruptions, connecting visitors with geological events across different time periods.
The museum operates from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 17:30, offering audio guides in German, English, Dutch, and French languages.
Visitors can experience a simulated volcanic eruption through a large model accompanied by sound effects and visual projections in the Land of Volcanoes section.
