Mineralogisches Museum Hamburg

The museum spans 500 square meters across two floors, displaying 1,500 mineralogical specimens including minerals, ores, gemstones, rocks, and meteorites from all continents.

Established in 1863 at the Natural History Museum Hamburg, the collection moved several times before settling at Grindelallee 48 in 1958 after World War II relocations.

The collections feature mineral specimens from global locations, including the Tsumeb Mine and Erongo mountains in Namibia, manganese fields in South Africa, and Mont Saint-Hilaire in Canada.

The museum opens on Wednesdays from 10 AM to 6 PM and Sundays from 10 AM to 5 PM, with free admission and special arrangements available for groups.

The museum houses a 424-kilogram Gibeon iron meteorite from Namibia, recognized as the largest meteorite specimen in any German museum collection.
