Urwelt-Museum Oberfranken, Archaeological museum in Bayreuth, Germany.

The Urwelt-Museum Oberfranken displays extensive collections of fossils, minerals, and stones from Upper Franconia across 600 square meters of exhibition space.

Founded in 1833 as a district natural history cabinet, the museum began with a donation of 14,000 exhibits from Count Georg zu Münster.

The museum presents the geological and paleontological heritage of Upper Franconia through interactive exhibits, including the Drachenkeller and Bärenhöhle sections.

Located at Kanzleistraße 1 in central Bayreuth, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

A large Seismosaurus head marks the entrance, while the garden features multiple dinosaur models reaching heights of ten meters.
