Geological Museum of the State Geological Institute, Geological museum in Warsaw, Poland
The Geological Museum of the State Geological Institute in Warsaw is a natural science museum with eight permanent collections. It displays minerals, rocks, fossils, and explains Earth's geological composition and formation processes through detailed exhibits.
The museum was founded in 1919 as part of the Polish Geological Institute and moved to a new building in 1930. This relocation allowed the collections to be displayed more comprehensively at a central location in the city.
The museum presents Poland's geological diversity through collections of rocks, minerals, and fossils gathered from across the country. You can observe how different regions have distinct types of stone and mineral deposits.
The museum is located in a central area of the city and is easily accessible on foot or by public transport. The opening hours cover weekdays, so check ahead to confirm it is open before planning your visit.
The museum houses dinosaur footprints discovered in the Swietokrzyskie Mountains and assembled skeletons of ice age animals. These paleontological pieces offer a window into the distant past preserved within Polish soil.
