The immersive natural history museum

A multimedia voyage through evolution

Visit T-rex and his friends

Walk through 21 large prehistoric worlds and experience 4.6 billion years of the earth’s history with all your senses. GONDWANA – Das Praehistorium offers you an unforgettable and immersive experience, a journey through time that you will talk about for a long time.

Our cutting-edge animation and audiovisual technology will help you track the course of biological and cultural evolution, starting with the big bang, passing through a multitude of periods in the earth’s history – including the dinosaurs, headed up by the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex, Neanderthals on a mammoth hunt and knights storming a city – and ending with the astronauts.

WARNING!

Because we have realistically recreated the time from the formation of the earth to the present day, you will of course also be confronted with the tremendous sounds and vibrations of the earth’s history … so be warned, our museum is not for the faint-hearted!

Our age recommendation is 6 years and up!
