Naturkundemuseum Görlitz, Natural history museum in Görlitz, Germany
Naturkundemuseum Görlitz is a museum displaying specimens from zoology, botany, and geology in its exhibition halls. The collections include thousands of items covering different branches of natural science.
The institution started as an ornithological society founded in 1811 and became a museum in 1860. Since then it has grown to house major natural science collections.
The museum documents animal and plant species through its displays, showing visitors how nature varies across different regions and how it has changed over time. The collections help people understand the diversity of life and the importance of studying it.
The museum operates with set visiting days during the week and extended hours on weekends for easier planning. It is best to check current times in advance, as schedules can change with the seasons.
The museum maintains a vivarium with living animals, allowing visitors to observe different species directly. This sets it apart from collection-only museums and creates a direct connection to living nature.
