Dinosaurs and Co

The exhibition shows the constant change of climate and the development of regional nature over the last 400 million years. Large habitat displays bring these periods to life in an exciting way.

Sea floods, deserts, dense primeval forests and Ice Age landscapes have left many traces in northern Hesse. Thus, vivid reconstructions of selected fossils from the local sites are shown. In this way we encounter the once indigenous dinosaurs, sharks, manatees, cave bears, hyenas or mammoths. Today's landscapes are presented in detailed dioramas with hundreds of specimens ranging from deer to raccoons and hamsters to frogs and insects.
