NaturBornholm, Natural history museum in Aakirkeby, Denmark
NaturBornholm is a natural history museum in Aakirkeby featuring exhibits on the plants, animals, and rock formations of Bornholm island. The displays showcase local fossils, minerals, and preserved specimens that reflect the area's natural character and geology.
The museum opened in 2000, designed by architect Henning Larsen as a modern educational center. Its creation reflected a desire to make Bornholm's rich natural history and geological significance accessible to the public.
The institution maintains two educational groups, Naturklubben and Scienceklubben, which organize activities for children to learn about science and nature.
The museum operates seasonally from April through October and includes a café and shop for visitors. Plan to spend a few hours exploring the indoor exhibits, which cover a substantial area with many displays to view.
The building sits directly on a geological fault line, a notable feature of the island's geology. The museum displays a model of Dromaeosaurides Bornholmiensis, a dinosaur species that was discovered in a nearby quarry.
