Darwineum Rostock

Darwineum Rostock is an evolution museum with eight exhibition areas presenting biological development through fossils, interactive displays, and living organisms. The Tropical Hall contains primates and other species living in recreated natural habitats.

The museum was established to document Darwin's theory of evolution and his research voyages, particularly discoveries in the Galapagos Islands. Its collections reflect scientific findings that shaped understanding of species diversity.

The exhibition traces human development through artifacts, from basic stone tools to advanced technologies, illustrating the progression of human intelligence.

The museum is open daily and allows visitors to walk through different areas while observing living animals in their environments. Plan enough time to explore all the exhibition areas at a comfortable pace.

The museum operates a jellyfish breeding program and displays living fossils such as mudskippers alongside modern species in specialized aquarium systems. This combination helps visitors understand the connection between ancient and contemporary animal life.
