Naturkundemuseum Ostbayern

The Naturkundemuseum Ostbayern is a natural history museum in Regensburg housed in a classical palace building. The exhibition halls contain geological finds, minerals, and preserved animals from the Bavaria region.

The museum moved into the classical Württemberg Palace in 1961, combining natural science collections with the preservation of a historic building. The collections themselves span decades and document the natural history of the region.

The museum displays a reconstructed historical natural science cabinet with its original wooden library from the 18th century. Visitors can see how naturalists of that era organized and presented their collections.

The building is located in Herzogspark and is easy to reach on foot, with a park surrounding it where you can walk before or after your visit. It helps to check the current opening hours in advance, as times vary depending on the season.

In the adjacent Herzogspark, there is a small pond and a bee garden that serve as an outdoor learning space for nature observation. This outdoor area allows visitors to watch insects and water animals in their natural setting.
