Events of the Chemnitz Museum of Natural History in March 2022
Tuesday, 1 March to Thursday, 31 March
Experience box: Creatures of the night (offer for independent realisation at the facility)
Whether on land, in the water or in the air - you can find nocturnal animals in places where you wouldn't expect to find them. Together we go on a journey and explore the local creatures of the night. As a creative finale, we will design hedgehog scratch pictures.
The experience boxes make it possible to experience natural history topics in a playful way outside the Museum of Natural History. They consist of basic materials (instructions for games) and the desired set of handicraft utensils.
The experience box is packed individually, so advance booking is required by e-mail to: ehle(at)naturkunde-chemnitz.de).
Costs: Basic materials for games 5 euros per box, creative activities 1 euro per person

Interactive exhibition: Museum experience
A forest that stretches back 291 million years into the history of the earth and a permanent exhibition that has been standing for 20 years - time to change something in our museum!
We want to retell the stories about the life and death of our fossilised tree giants and bring much more from the collections to light. In recent years, children and young people have been thinking about what our museum should offer in the future. Using games, animated films and audio contributions they developed themselves, they brought primordial dinosaurs, scorpions and giant dragonflies to life for the experience level of the new permanent exhibition. The resulting interactive stations were tested by young and old alike. We have taken these requests for changes on board and now it is once again time to discover, play and dream.
Visiting the interactive exhibition: Erlebnisraum Museum is free of charge.
A valid admission ticket is required for the tour of the permanent exhibition and the special exhibition "Highlights of Nature Photography".

Special exhibition: Expressive Painting - The World of Colour
Euphoria, confidence, fear, happiness, loneliness - one's own feelings often follow a rollercoaster in life. Young people from the TERRA NOVA CAMPUS discovery school who enjoy painting expressed their feelings beyond language as part of the "Expressive Painting - The World of Colour" project. Their inner world is reflected in spontaneous paintings created in the atmosphere of the Petrified Forest. The Museum of Natural History is showing these special works in the existing permanent exhibition.
Admission: adults 4 euros, concessions 2.50 euros, children and young people up to 18 years free of charge
