Welcome to the Biodiversitätsmuseum of Göttingen
A space for science, art, thinking and recreation, which promotes a scientific culture in the city. In the next few years the former Zoological Museum will open its gates as the Biodiversitätsmuseum of Göttingen.
The metamorphosis of a museum
The Zoological Museum becomes the Biodiversitätsmuseum
Soon the transformation will be complete. After a long period of closure, the Zoologisches Museum Göttingen will open its gates as the Biodiversitätsmuseum. The museum will be housed in the former building of the Naturhistorisches Museum in Berliner Straße, together with the Wissensmuseum in the Forum Wissen.
An expedition through the wonders of biodiversity
Visitors of all ages are invited to explore the new, interactive exhibition in which the treasured zoological collections of the University will come to life again.
«When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.»
