Drop into the Palaeontological Museum in Maxvorstadt for a compact brush with prehistory. Look over dinosaur and prehistoric animal fossils across three levels, finishing with the human evolution exhibit.

📖

Full description

The Palaeontological Museum in Maxvorstadt shows fossils of dinosaurs, animals and plants across three levels, along with a section on human evolution. Reviewers call it an older, fairly small collection, but one with genuinely interesting pieces, and a hit with dinosaur-loving children.

Mornings tend to be uncrowded. It is a straightforward 45-minute visit that suits families and fossil enthusiasts rather than a general must-see for every tourist.

Reviews

Fantastic museum to take dino-loving kids to! Free to enter with a great selection of dinosaur and prehistoric animal fossils/skeletons. My son was running around so excited to see dinosaurs he recognised and to learn about new ones too. A top recommendation for kids in Munich! Take note that I believe it is closed…
