Naturkundemuseum Niebüll, Natural history museum in Niebüll, Germany.

Naturkundemuseum Niebüll is a museum in this border town displaying regional plants, animals, and rock formations. The collection features dioramas, aquariums, and a living bee colony that visitors can observe directly.

The museum was founded in 1980 to preserve Kurt Bachmann's private collection of minerals, fossils, and taxidermied animals. The collection is housed in a former hotel building from 1898, giving the project a historical foundation.

All display texts at the museum are written in both German and Danish, and the museum describes itself as a cross-border German-Danish participatory museum. Its stated aim is to present the regional nature on both sides of the border. The building also housed a Danish shoe factory on the ground floor when the first exhibition opened upstairs in 1980.

The museum is easily reached via the main street and welcomes visitors on weekends and weekdays during the warmer months. A visit typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on how closely you wish to explore the exhibits.

The museum's travelling bee colony can be brought to primary schools and kindergartens as a "mobile museum", and staff also visit care homes with a case of specimens, feathers and furs. These outreach sessions are run with the German Alzheimer Society.
