Our Vision and Mission

Our mission is to discover and describe life and earth – with people, through dialogue.

As an excellent research museum and innovative communication platform, we want to engage with and influence the scientific and societal discourse about the future of our planet, worldwide.

The Museum of the Future

The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin of the future will be open, integrated, and research-driven—a model for research museums worldwide. With our future plan, we are transforming the museum into a place for exchange about the future of our planet, where knowledge is conveyed and created in new ways—together with society.
