Naturalis is a museum and research center in Leiden. It focuses on the natural world. The museum has one of the largest collections of natural history objects in the world, including plants, animals, minerals and fossils. Naturalis was founded in 1820 and has since grown into an important scientific and educational institution. The museum is divided into several departments, each focusing on a specific area of the natural world, including geology, paleontology, entomology and zoology. One of the highlights of Naturalis is the Dino Age department , where visitors can take a journey through time to discover prehistory. Here visitors can, for example, admire a life-size T-Rex and immerse themselves in the world of the dinosaurs. There is a beautiful botanical garden outside the museum, where visitors can enjoy various plants and trees from all over the world . The garden is also an important part of Naturalis' scientific research, where various plant species are studied. |
