Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt / Germany


Abstraktum

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody :) 

 

So this is another Museumreport from Germany. This time the famous Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt. I would say this is one of the best Collections in Germany. 

 

One important note: They have a lot Cast Skeletons. I will lable every picture indicating if its a real fossil or "just" a cast. All Casts are copies of real fossils. 

 

I labled as many fossils with names as possible

 

Enjoy :)

Very nice tour; those are excellent pictures of some truly amazing specimens!

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

 

Q. Where do dinosaurs study?

A. At Khaan Academy!...

Wow what a great museum. Superb pictures as well! Looks like it blows away my trip to the Denver Museum of Natural Science & History I took last week. I pray one day museums will adopt an adult only day once a month though.
