Natural History Museum in Leipzig

The Museum of Natural History in Leipzig contains more than 800 exhibits in various collections. Collections of the museum are devoted to botany, zoology, archaeology, geology.

The museum was established in 1906 by the Leipzig Association of Scientists, and in 1930 the city administration took over the management of the museum. At first, the museum was very popular among locals and tourists, but now its popularity has declined, and despite interesting exhibitions, the museum is visited by only about 30 thousand tourists a year.
