Löbbecke Museum und Aquazoo, Natural history museum and aquarium in Düsseldorf, Germany
The Löbbecke Museum und Aquazoo brings together natural history collections and living aquatic and terrestrial animals under one roof in Düsseldorf. The facility houses more than 500 species, including rays, penguins, crocodiles, and many tropical fish in spacious tanks and terrariums.
The institution grew from merging a natural history collection with an aquarium and developed into a research center in North Rhine-Westphalia. Over the decades, the site expanded and became a place where science and public education work side by side.
Visitors follow a path through different habitats, each zone showing how animals adapted to their surroundings over millions of years. The displays help people see connections between species and understand why certain creatures live where they do.
The site on Kaiserswerther Strasse 380 opens daily from 10 AM to 6 PM and is fully wheelchair accessible. All exhibition areas can be reached without barriers, allowing every visitor to explore the animal displays comfortably.
An amphibian conservation station on site breeds endangered species and received United Nations recognition for this work. The programs help maintain populations that face serious threats in the wild.

Düsseldorf offers photographers a diverse range of settings that blend centuries of history with contemporary urban design. From the pink Rococo facade of Benrath Palace and the medieval ruins of Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth to the bold modern structures of MedienHafen designed by internationally recognized architects, the city presents countless opportunities to capture compelling images. The contrast between old and new appears throughout Düsseldorf, whether you're photographing the historic gravestones at Alter Golzheimer Friedhof, the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, or the sleek observation deck of the Rheinturm rising 551 feet (168 meters) above the Rhine. The city's green spaces add another dimension to your photography, with the 173-acre (70-hectare) Hofgarten providing tree-lined paths and open meadows, while Nordpark showcases formal Japanese gardens and seasonal flowerbeds. Along Königsallee, a tree-lined canal creates natural reflections that complement the surrounding storefronts and architecture. Whether you're interested in architectural details, natural settings, or urban landscapes, Düsseldorf's varied locations work equally well in morning light, afternoon sun, or after dark when building illumination transforms the cityscape into a different visual experience altogether.
