Glacier Garden of Lucerne, Geological museum in Lucerne, Switzerland.
The Glacier Garden displays natural rock formations shaped by glaciers during the Ice Age, along with fossilized shells and palm leaves from ancient times.
Maria Amrein-Troller established this museum in 1873, transforming her private residence into an educational institution dedicated to geological and natural history exploration.
The museum houses the Amrein family collection, featuring mountain reliefs, geological specimens, and archaeological artifacts that document Swiss scientific developments.
Located in central Lucerne, the garden welcomes visitors from April through October between 9:00 and 18:00, and from November through March between 10:00 and 17:00.
The underground Felsenwelt section guides visitors through caves and lakes, concluding with an observation point overlooking the Swiss Alps.
