Naturama Aargau

Naturama Aargau is a natural history museum in the Swiss city of Aarau focused on the biological and geological diversity of the region. The collections are organized by habitats and show how different species live in meadows, forests, and water systems.

The museum was founded in 2002 when earlier natural history collections were transformed into a modern learning center. This reorganization created a space where people could systematically explore the nature of their region.

The museum demonstrates how people connect with their natural surroundings by presenting displays that explain regional habitats. Visitors see how plants and animals interact within the local waterways and forests.

The museum sits in central Aarau and opens Tuesday through Sunday, making it easy to fit a visit into a day trip. The exhibitions focus on environmental subjects that you can understand without special background knowledge.

The museum received a major award in 2018 for innovative exhibitions that show how to communicate scientific research about nature effectively. This recognition reflects the approach of making complex ecological concepts accessible to visitors of all ages.
