Naturkunde-Museum Bamberg, Natural history museum in Old Town district, Bamberg, Germany
The museum displays European and exotic bird specimens, preserved mammals, invertebrates, arthropods, and mollusks in traditional wooden display cases with blue illumination.
The museum originates from 1791 when Prince Bishop Franz von Erthal established a Natural History Cabinet as part of the Jesuit College in Bamberg.
The Bird Hall contains rare specimens including the extinct Passenger Pigeon and taxidermies that reflect scientific collection practices from the late 18th century.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday, from 9:00 to 17:00 during April-September and 10:00 to 16:00 during October-March, with admission at 3.50 euros for adults.
