Fuhlrott-Museum, Natural history museum in Wuppertal, Germany.
The Fuhlrott-Museum contained a vast collection of 60,000 fossils, 220,000 beetles, minerals, birds, and insects displayed across multiple exhibition halls.
Founded in 1892 from the collections of the Natural History Association of Elberfeld and Barmen, the museum operated until its permanent closure in March 2008.
The museum gained recognition through Johann Carl Fuhlrott's identification of the Neanderthal remains, marking a milestone in understanding human evolution.
The museum building now functions as a venue for the Bergische Adult Education Center and the Wuppertal Media Center after extensive renovations.
After closure, the museum's extensive lepidopterological collection was transferred to the Aquazoo in Düsseldorf, while its herbarium moved to Münster's Natural History Museum.
