Institut für Geowissenschaften Museum

Wir haben hier einen Kindergeburtstag gefeiert. Den Kindern hat es sehr gut gefallen und sie haben eine Menge gelernt. Es gab einen hochinteressanten Vortrag mit der Möglichkeit alle Fragen loszuwerden und echte Fossilien anzufassen.

Recht kleines, aber feines Museum. Sehr interessant auch für Nicht-Geos.

Gratuit.

Es scheint wie ein Luxus vergangener Tage, dass so eine feine Sammlung frei zugänglich ist.

Small yet worthwhile geological museum with a somewhat limited collection of rocks, minerals and fossils, as well as sections on human evolution, applied earth sciences, and the history of the disciplines of geology and palaeontology (in particular in and around Heidelberg). Seeing as the museum's holdings can't quite match the collections of other museums in the state, and the exhibit was moreover refurbished not all that long ago, it's a pity, however, that the presentation lacks both clear thematic partitioning and a central guiding line through the exhibit. Instead, the museum's structure seems most suited to those with an existing background in the earth sciences, something emphasised by the sparing information supplied with specimens, as well as the characterization sheets" that define the various geological eras being presented.
