National Museum of Natural History – ‘natur musée’
Luxembourg-City
The National Museum of Natural History is the place for everyone wishing to learn more about the earth and nature. In the ten spaces of the permanent exhibitions, you will find yourself in different worlds. The earth and the creative force of our planet, the history of life: each theme takes you on a journey through the rich and varied natural world.
Current temporary exhibition:
Lost Ocean – A fossil dive into the sea of monsters
When palaeontological research and digital technologies join forces, a fossil exhibition turns into an ancient ocean teeming with extinct creatures. Explore the local fossil treasures from a brand new perspective and immerse yourself into the world of Jurassic sea monsters.
