Museum der Westlausitz zu Kamenz, Natural science museum in Kamenz, Germany
The Museum der Westlausitz zu Kamenz is a natural science museum dedicated to the region's environment and heritage. It brings together collections on zoology, geology, botany, and archaeology to explain the area's characteristics through scientific study.
The museum developed as a place to gather regional objects and was later modernized to meet scientific standards. Its reopening in 2002 established it as an important center for regional research and cultural understanding in West Lusatia.
The museum shows how people in West Lusatia have lived with and shaped their landscape over time. The exhibitions help visitors understand which natural resources defined the region and how its environment has changed.
Visitors can explore the exhibitions on most days of the week and find a café on site for refreshment. There is ample parking available, making it convenient for those arriving by car without time constraints.
The museum houses an earthquake simulator that lets visitors experience geological forces firsthand. This interactive element makes abstract concepts of tectonics tangible and memorable for many who visit.
