The Maastricht Natural History Museum takes you on a journey of discovery through Limburg's nature, from millions of years ago to the present day. Nestled among the historic streets of the Jekerkwartier district, you will find a collection of more than half a million objects, including fossils, plants and animals from different periods.
One of the most famous attractions is the Mosasaurus, a marine reptile that once swam in the Cretaceous Sea and whose fossils have been found in the region. You will learn about this prehistoric sea and other exciting periods in natural history.
The museum shows how nature has developed over time, with exhibitions on geology, palaeontology and biology. There are permanent and temporary exhibitions, activities for children and adults, and a botanical garden behind the museum.
The museum is easily accessible for families and curious visitors of all ages. In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are regular interactive activities, guided tours and special programmes.
Look beyond this business and discover what else the neighbourhood has to offer. From food and drink to culture, shops and places to experience.
