On Museum Night, the Museum für Naturkunde Chemnitz opens its doors until late in the evening and offers a unique program in an atmospheric setting for the whole family. There are creative activities and a rally through the Historical Cabinet. We are also opening our insectarium, where you can touch insects and gain exciting insights into the world of the most species-rich class of animals on earth.
Our excavation is also open on Museum Night. Let us show you how scientific excavation works and how our researchers here uncover the fossils of the Petrified Forest.
