The Metamorphosis of the Berlin Museum of Natural History - Museum Evolution

The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin is undergoing a metamorphosis: thanks to a generous financial grant from the federal government and the state of Berlin, we have the opportunity to further strengthen our strengths. This means advancing cutting-edge research, creating a collection accessible to everyone worldwide, and bringing knowledge about it to the world. In dialogue with society - for nature and thus for all of us!
To fulfill this mission, we are also upgrading the museum building in Berlin's Invalidenstrasse. Since the Second World War, there has been a backlog of renovation work in all parts of the building, which has so far only been able to be remedied in part. However, research, collection and knowledge transfer can only work together optimally if the associated building is fit for the future. The first steps on this path have now been taken.
A film team accompanies the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin on its way into the future. On CZcams, you can become part of our #MuseumsEvolution!
The earth is changing. Every second. For 4.56 billion years. But this change is going too fast lately! This is shown by the speed of species extinction and climate change.
We are making the museum fit for new challenges, also structurally. As a place where, in the future, a million visitors a year will be able to engage in an exchange about the preservation of our natural foundations of life. And as a place where more than 200 scientists are already researching life and the earth. We are catapulting the 30 million objects in our collection into the future - analog and digital. For all of us! So that we can work together on solutions - for nature and the cohesion of society.
