GeoMuseum der Universität, Geological museum at University of Münster, Germany

The GeoMuseum showcases geological specimens, fossils, and minerals within the historic Landsberg'sche Kurie building in central Münster, featuring fourteen thematic sections.

Established in 1824 as museum mineralogicum et zoologicum, the institution moved to Pferdegasse in 1880 and merged its collections into the current GeoMuseum in 2007.

The museum presents Earth's 13.8-billion-year timeline through local Westphalian discoveries, connecting regional geology to global natural history understanding.

Visitors can access the museum at Pferdegasse 3 on Wednesdays from 14:00 to 20:00 and last Sunday of each month from 14:00 to 17:00 without entrance fee.

The museum displays a complete 43,000-year-old mammoth skeleton discovered in Ahlen during 1910, restored according to current scientific knowledge.
