Geological Museum, Natural history museum in Warsaw, Poland.
The Geological Museum is a natural history museum in Warsaw that collects and displays minerals, crystals, and fossils. Eight thematic exhibition areas showcase Earth's geological diversity through these collections.
The museum was founded in 1919 and suffered severe losses during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, with only 30 percent of its collection surviving. These wartime destructions continue to shape the museum's holdings today.
The museum displays rocks and minerals from different regions of Poland, showing how natural resources shaped the country's development and economy. Visitors can see how the geological diversity connects to Polish identity.
The museum is located on Rakowiecka Street with access from Wiśniowa Street and offers free admission for all visitors. Facilities for visitors with disabilities are available throughout the building.
Visitors can see Dyzio, a life-sized model of a Dilaphosaurus dinosaur that once inhabited Polish territories around 200 million years ago. This model makes the prehistoric past of the region tangible and engaging.
