Stuttgart Museum of Natural history, Germany

David Attenborough visited this once and I decided to go there just for that. Some of them are reconstructions and some of them are real. Ofcourse I was not allowed to look at real ones in storage, any paleontologists here from Baden Würrtemburg ( maybe @Ludwigia) can tell.

 

Has a geological mapping of the German state around Rhine river.

@Niranjan Thanks for posting this. Yes, I know this museum very well and can warmly recommend a visit when anyone might be in the neighborhood. I have the good luck to be associated with one of the curators there, so I have had a chance to have a tour through the backstage. I even contributed some photos of North American sites to one of their more modern virtual displays. I also contributed an article to our Steinkern Homepage a few years ago about the opening of a new pemanent exhibition on the Palaeozoic to which I was invited. It's mostly in German, but there are lots of photos.

@Ludwigia How accurate are fair skinned ice age Hunter gatherers ?

 

I dunno. I wasn't born yet :P You'll have to research that yourself. I never thought to ask myself that question.

thanks for the fantastic pics. The Museum is great, full of fantastic material and goooood scientists. 

When you have some time go to Holzmaden (HAUFF-Museum) and Karlsruhe (Karlsruher Museum für Naturkunde), both are beautyful, too.

Some very fine fossils there. Still wasnt at the Museum, but will definitely check it out as soon as possible :)

 

Wikipedia says this big Deinotherium reconstruction is also located at the museum. Is it still there? click

Their amber collection is quite amazing. Here you can find ambers from Dominican republic, Myanmar and Baltic states. The red ones are mostly Burmites, yellow ones are Baltic, Dominican is in-between ( I guess).

 

Quite interesting to find reptiles, ants, dragonflies, leaves, flowers in them.

Lovely photos of a spectacular museum collection. :b_love1:

I like the first photo in particular, the one with the dinosaur's head stuck through the wall. 

Is the rest of it on the other side? 

Life's Good!

No - unfortunately not...

A T-Rex skeletal cast can be visited in the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt (besides some other casts and originals of dinos and much more).

Like most of museums, the storage is not accessible to public. As part of the "scientific-community" i was several times able to visit the storage and it is simply impressive.

That is a great collection! Some really neat pieces in there. One of the inclusions almost looks frog-like? Or is it just a partial lizard?

@holdinghistory it is part lizard, possibly a gecko

That was my guess, the left leg was in an unusual position so was curious if I missed something.

Great museum, I love to visit it myself. I was wondering what is the white mobile hanging above the dinosaur? Nice museum report thank you very much. Bobby
