GeoCenter Møns Klint, Natural history museum in Vordingborg Municipality, Denmark
GeoCenter Møns Klint is a museum near the coast that tells the story of the famous white chalk cliffs through interactive displays and visual presentations. Inside, visitors explore exhibitions about geological layers, fossil formations, and the natural processes that created this distinctive landscape.
The center was built as an educational facility devoted to exploring chalk deposits that formed 70 million years ago along this coast. Its creation in 2007 marked a milestone in how the region's geological story is shared with the public.
The exhibition spaces reveal how the chalk cliffs have shaped the area for generations and continue to define the local landscape. Visitors can see how this distinctive coastline remains central to the region's identity today.
The museum sits right next to the chalk cliffs and provides direct access to walking trails along the coast. The facility includes a café for food and drinks, and all areas are fully accessible for wheelchair users.
Most of the building is sunken into the landscape, so visitors experience stepping downward when they enter, as if descending into the earth itself. This design choice directly links the architecture to the subject of geological layers and how they form.
