The Museum of Nature and Environment in Lübeck is a natural history museum that was first opened in 1893. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the Lübeck Cathedral and is architecturally connected to the cathedral through a cloister. The original museum building was destroyed in a bombing raid on Lübeck in March 1942 and was rebuilt from 1951 by its director Gotthilft von Studnitz.
Exhibits at the Museum of Nature and Environment
The museum primarily showcases exhibits related to the nature and environment of Lübeck and Holstein. In the courtyard to the cathedral, a skeleton of a sperm whale is displayed. The Museum of Nature and Environment also presents fossil baleen whales from the lower Neogene (Miocene), which come from a gravel pit near Groß Pampau.
