Experience culture, astronomy and nature exitingly put-together at the LWL-Museum of Natural History in Münster – the only Natural History Museum that includes a large sized planetarium. Our research facility "Heiliges Meer" offers state-of-the-art insights and information for exhibitions about the present as well as the far past. Come visit the planetarium with the best digital resolution in Europe, anywhere.

Located right next to the Aasee, the state museum and its planetarium have a lot to offer: comfortable journeys to unknown cultures, exciting time-travels that happen in a split second, and fascinating excursions into the eternity of the universe.

The museum, planetarium and all of the exhibitions are accesibile for people with a disability.

We are looking forward to you.

Attention!

The museum is getting a new building. The museum and planetarium are still open.

We are currently in the process of setting up the "Forum for Natural Sciences". During this time, we are still OPEN. The main entrance has been moved to the Aaseewiesen side - so it's "off to the new entrance!" Follow the signs on the construction fence or the chalk marks on the ground around the building.

Look forward to fascinating exhibitions, impressive displays and a wide variety of experiences for the whole family, groups or individual visitors. Visit the accessible exhibitions, discover dinosaurs both indoors and outdoors, and experience one of the world’s most modern planetariums.

We look forward to your visit!
