Naturkunde-Museum Bielefeld, Natural history museum in Bielefeld, Germany
Naturkunde-Museum Bielefeld is located in a noble court building from 1540 and features permanent exhibitions exploring human relationships with nature and geological phenomena. The building itself represents an important piece of historical architecture in Bielefeld's city center.
The institution was founded in 1906 as a natural sciences department through the patronage of Dr. August Oetker within the newly created Municipal Museum of Bielefeld. This founding shaped its scientific and cultural mission that continues today.
