Museum am Löwentor, Natural history museum in Stuttgart, Germany
Museum am Löwentor is a natural history collection in Stuttgart that displays fossils, skeletons, and reconstructed environments from Earth's past. The objects are arranged across multiple levels and give a picture of how different life forms appeared over millions of years.
The collection originated from the ducal collection of Württemberg in the 18th century and developed into a scientific museum. After wartime destruction, it reopened in a new building in 1985.
The museum displays fossils and skeletons from different geological periods, taking visitors on journeys through deep time. The exhibition combines scientific findings with visual reconstructions that show how prehistoric animals looked and lived.
The museum is located near Rosenstein Park and is accessible by public transport or car. Visitors should arrive early, as the exhibition requires time to explore thoroughly.
A steel dinosaur sculpture stands at the entrance, built from recycled materials from a scrap yard. The sculpture shows how artists and science can merge creative expression with prehistoric themes.
