The Museum für Naturkunde (MfN) is one of eight research museums in the “Leibniz
Association”, one of four large non-university research organizations in Germany. It is one of the
most significant research institutions worldwide in biological and geo-scientific evolution research
and biodiversity. Our research is collections-based and our collections comprise more than 30
million items relating to zoology, paleontology, geology and mineralogy, which have been
compiled continuously for over 200 years and are highly significant for science as well as for the
history of science. Thus, the MfN is an integrated research museum with strong national and
international partnerships and networks and our public engagement is science-driven.
