In our Guided Tours, you can experience the museum and its collection from home. Accompany our guides on YouTube on a research trip through the exhibition!

Together with Wissenschaft im Dialog, we operate mit:forschen! –, the central online platform for Citizen Science in Germany. Over 270 projects from a wide range of disciplines are currently presenting themselves there and inviting people to take part in research.

What do everyday objects and personal memories tell us about environmental change? Which personal items reflect the human impact on nature for you? "Changing Natures" is a digital, participatory collection experiment on the Anthropocene.

Learn to read old German manuscripts and transfer historical documents from the archive of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin into modern script. Only in this way historical documents can be made accessible for further research.

The project combines paleo research and science communication at the excavation site in the UNESCO Geopark Thuringia Inselsberg - Drei Gleichen, at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, at the Stiftung Schloss Friedenstein Gotha.

Learn more about the unexpected connections between some of Berlin’s most beloved animals as well as less charismatic and famous specimens.

The project creates a digital Edition of the Annual Reports of the Museum 1887-1915 and 1928-1938. This can be used, for example, for the assessment of colonial objects in the collections.

In the project we examine plant inclusions in amber, to identify them and to draw conclusions about their ecosystems. These objects help us to understand distribution patterns and morphological evolution of plant families
