Our Collection

The collection of the Natural History Museum in Brunswick is one of the largest collections of its kind in Lower Saxony.

In a natural history museum with a long history in collecting, the number of specimen in the scientific collections far outnumbers that of those in the exhibitions. Today, the collection of the Natural History Museum in Brunswick holds roughly 500,000 specimen.
