Exhibition
Ground floor
The ground floor (600 sq.m.) is used for special exhibitions.
First floor
Beginning in the stairwell and on the first floor, regional natural history is presented in large show cases and by other exhibits, starting with historic finds of the Permian (280-245 mio. years). Saurian footprints, numerous fossils, models and taxidermal exhibits lead you through evolution, a journey taking you from the Paleozoic to the habitats of today. Particular emphasis is given to regional evolutionary and climatic conditions.
A huge, life-sized mammoth surrounded by reconstructions and finds from the Ice Age is an interesting center piece of this section. Dioramas illustrating aqueous life during marine periods offer an impression of the region's appearance while flooded by the ocean.
Regional beech forests and their denizens, like wild boars, red and roe deer, foxes and a large variety of birds are presented in a huge diorama.
Second floor
On the second floor we present special exhibitions.
