Bayerische Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und Geologie

The Bavarian State Collection for Paleontology and Geology is a research institute in Munich that gathers and studies fossils, minerals, and rocks from different time periods. The collection documents biological and geological development across vast spans of time.

The institute was established to gather and preserve scientific knowledge about Earth's development. It continues to help people understand the natural history of our planet.

The collection displays fossils and rocks that reveal how past environments looked and how people today understand Earth's history. Visitors can see how scientists use these objects to answer questions about life millions of years ago.

The site is set up for visitors and offers guided tours through the collections so you can see and understand the displays. It is useful to check in advance when tours are available and how to reach the location.

The building itself is an architectural landmark and shows how modern design can support science. The spaces are arranged so you can understand how researchers work with large collections.
