Natural History Museum of the University of Zurich
The Natural History Museum of the University of Zurich facilitates understanding and enthusiasm for the beauty and diversity of nature. We also present current research and strive to inspire people of all ages who enjoy nature and science. Come and marvel at our animals and fossils! Children and adults test their animal knowledge at various activity tables, admire small creatures with binoculars and listen to over 300 animal voices. The Ice Age show is a chilly experience and nature films are shown several times a day in the cinema. We offer guided tours, lectures and workshops for all ages. Worksheets that can be completed independently in the museum are also available.
