Events on our excavation "Window into the Earth's History"
Public guided tour for children and young people at the Museum für Naturkunde Chemnitz On the trail of Schnappi and Co.
Location: Museum für Naturkunde Chemnitz, Moritzstraße 20, 09111 Chemnitz
Admission: free
Together we will go on a journey to the Chemnitz Petrified Forest and take a look at the exhibition. How is a fossil actually formed, when did it once live and how did we discover it in the centre of Chemnitz? We will find answers to these questions together. At the end, you will design a wood decorated with a fossil image.
The "Window into Earth's History" project is subsidised by the ESF.

This year, the Museum of Natural History has been measuring, sawing, filming and making pottery. Pupils from the Chemnitz school model brought the Chemnitz Petrified Forest to life with games, animated films and audio contributions. The special exhibition now shows the creative results, which are to become part of the new permanent exhibition, to a broad public. Come and marvel, browse and play!
