Exhibits, objects and research results from all over Bavaria are also shown in the Munich exhibitions. This strengthens the reciprocal visibility of the Bavarian network. BIOTOPIA as a stage for life and environmental sciences and the treasures of native nature throughout Bavaria!

Molassic Park

Bavaria 10 million years ago

Who would have guessed that a good 10 million years ago, four-meter-tall tusked elephants and saber-toothed cats roamed through a landscape of cinnamon trees and bald cypresses, and right on our doorstep? The Molassic Park exhibition invites you on an expedition into our Bavarian past - into the era of the Upper Freshwater Molasse. It is a joint exhibition of the Museum Mensch und Natur and the Botanical Garden Munich-Nymphenburg in cooperation with BIOTOPIA - Naturkundemuseum Bayern, the Bavarian State Collection of Paleontology and Geology and the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen.

All the time in the world

From the big bang to the clock

Time determines our lives. We perceive as a matter of course how days, weeks, months and years pass - and become aware of the fact that our own lifetime is limited. Time is therefore something very everyday, something that directly affects us all and yet which we can only understand and explain with difficulty or not at all. In the exhibition "All the Time in the World", the Museum Mensch und Natur dedicates itself to this multifaceted topic and has been able to win over the well-known astrophysicist and science journalist Harald Lesch to accompany our visitors on their journey through time and space.
