“History of the Earth and Life”

Exhibits in this room are laid out in chronological order going back into history, which you can travel from current to ancient times. It starts from nature as we know it now to nature at the end of the Last Ice Age, then even further back to the age of mammals and gradually to much older times. Let’s expand your imagination and think about the history of life forms from long in the past, bit by bit, to a little bit back in time from the familiar organisms of today.

The large skeletons in this room are “replicas,” which are scientifically faithful resources that have been molded from actual specimens. They are not fake, but an important reference that can be used for research.

Don’t miss the cast shadows on walls and the section under the staircase on the 1st floor.
