About
Hurtige fakta: Stepping inside feels like walking through a cathedral of science, where towering dinosaur skeletons loom overhead and glittering gemstones dazzle in the light. One of the coolest features is the Hintze Hall’s blue whale skeleton that hangs majestically, giving you a sense of the immense scale of ocean giants.
Højdepunkter: Over 80 million specimens line the walls and storage rooms, from a rare dodo skeleton to vibrant gemstones glittering under soft lighting. A quirky tradition involves a life-sized blue whale model that swivels its tail with a creaking sound every hour, delighting visitors with its unexpected movement.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light layer, galleries are large and some rooms can feel chilly.
- Head to Hintze Hall first for dramatic photos of the blue whale skeleton before crowds arrive.
- Visit the dinosaur gallery early or late in the day to avoid the midday rush, mid-afternoon is busiest.
- Use the museum app to check daily talks, maps, and timed-entry displays, and allow extra time for security bag checks.
