Naturmuseum Augsburg

The museum features four floors of exhibits covering geology, paleontology, mineralogy, and biology, with specimens from prehistoric times to present-day flora and fauna.

Founded in 1846 by the Natural History Society of Augsburg, the museum initially opened as part of the Maximilian Museum before becoming independent in 1906.

The institution maintains strong educational connections with local schools through specialized programs and workshops focusing on natural sciences and environmental education.

Located in the northern old town of Augsburg, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours and regular multimedia presentations.

The museum houses the most complete skeleton of an Archaeobelodon elephant discovered in a gravel pit, dating back 15 million years.
