Highlights behind the Scenes
You have the great chance to join a free of charge guided tour behind the scenes of the Natural History Museum, which is a rather rare opportunity especially because of ongoing substantial reconstruction works that will last several years. A tour lasts about 30 minutes.
Please find the site plan (pdf) of the Museum für Naturkunde here.
